Rubin and Francis seem to be the most obvious vocal leaders and Rubin had a bad day.  It was a little like the match against Florida without Baird, we just seemed to be missing some spark or cohesion to get over the rough spots.  Kipp is clearly our best player but I hope to see more leadership and momentum changing plays from Elena Oglivie.  I may be asking too much because she is great already but I feel like just a few more Hentz-like momentum plays per match would make a big difference in bringing the team to that championship level.  It is early and the schedule they are playing now is brutal so I am not panicking.  I think the team will continue getting better and will learn how to get over the hump needed to be at that super elite level.  On to the next incredibly tough match!  

Cheers,
Pete F.
