FORT WORTH, Texas - The following are quotes from TCU head coach Dan Abdalla and selected players following the Horned Frogs 3-1 victory over conference foe New Mexico on Sunday.
Dan Abdalla
"I thought we were a little bit rough at times, but we settled it down a little bit in the second half and did a good job of trying to get our midfield involved."
"They are a team that you know is always going to give you everything they have. To come out with a goal and then give up a goal on the penalty, I was extremely impressed with how our kids at halftime came back and settled down and relaxed. We put away some of our chances today, which was good."
"I think it was huge for Jordan Calhoun to get two goals today because it established her confidence going into these next couple of conference games. I thought Jordan and Lizzy Karoly played off of each other extremely well today. Jordan just has a comfort level in putting the ball into goal, which makes everyone else on the team better."
"When we settled down and found the midfielders feet, it allowed us to do more on the attack. Chelsea Cody is probably as comfortable with the ball at her feet as anyone in the country and we have to make sure we get the ball to her and play through her."
Jordan Calhoun
"I think this was a great start for us, especially going into next week with Wyoming and Air Force."
"I had no idea that I had moved into No. 2 all-time. I was like, wow, I really did that. It was exciting."
Cheryl Martin
"This is an amazing start. I couldn't have asked for a better time to score. Right now we are ahead and this gives us something to look forward to. Overall, this was a great start to conference because we had to battle our way back a little bit today."
