"I want them to win a title," she said. "I feel it, it's coming."
Siracusa said that the loss set the goals for next season.

Days after the loss and the season exit meeting, Siracusa and Winans both gave players the option to work out during the offseason.
"Two days after the loss, our strength and condition coach told us that almost the whole team was going to the weight room," Winans said. "They didn't have to be there, and that says a lot about the character of our team."
He said the players coming into the program, and those already in it, have dedicated themselves to winning.
Winans said the freshmen coming off of redshirt years now know what it takes to win.
"This season really made them hungry," he said.
Other players receiving honors at seasons end were junior midfielder Nicole Irwin, whose eight goals and four assists earned her WAC offensive player of the year honors, sophomore forward Jessica Scott, who was selected as a second team all-conference member, and freshman goalkeeper Marissa Dayton, who also earned second team all-conference honors.
