Penn State coach Erica Dambach knows a good gameplan is nothing without execution.
In Thursday’s 1-0 win over No. 6 North Carolina, the implementation of the coaching staff’s tactics was flawless.
“We came in with a good plan, and they bought into it, they believed in it, and they executed it,” Dambach said. “We played a little bit different than we usually do, and it worked. You can see now that our team can handle that type of coaching and that it can adapt.”
Coming into Thursday’s match, Dambach called UNC a “big risk, big reward team,” knowing the Tar Heels like to get numbers forward and press high.
