In watching Tara's Northern Colorado press conference, a few things stood out:

Lacie is referred to as the "sixth" player with Lexie starting.  So I guess that much of the rotation is clear.

Tara thinks we are doing well for November "but I will be mad" if they aren't playing better in December.  She chiefly is concerned about the defensive end.

She pointed out that Gonzaga is a well coached, very good team and that we played poorly up there last year.  "But I really would not want to be coaching any other team right now.  We are just going to get better and better."  From this I think it clear that Tara is planning to give her young players lots of minutes, particularly as they improve on defense.

Tara is never giddy.  But she seemed as positive as I can remember.  What a difference from just 2 years ago, when Tara appeared at these pressers tight lipped, drawn, and obviously frustrated as we rolled out to a 6-6 record to start the season.  An amazing 2 year turnaround. Of course, we are not 12 games in yet--not by a long shot. But there is a completely different feel to the team this year.
