I always have such a hard time identifying rivals in this league, because there aren't as many strongly established ones. It's the easy way out, but I suppose I'll say that the big Honolulu rival is our expansion counterpart, the Sarasota Sailfish. While we don't play each other very frequently, as teams that came into being at the same time, there's a certain level of competitiveness there that makes for a decent rivalry. So yes, we've just lost that season's Fish Bowl in overtime, which has got to sting. I think that Honolulu's got the right spirit for bouncing back, so despite the loss, the locker room is still somewhat jovial and positive. We find ourselves talking through the circles of "we'll get 'em next time" and turning sights to the next big game. Obviously we'll still throw a bit of banter in when chatting with the sailfish, but we're not going to let a single loss get us down. Raeni herself is very focused on the game, so once she can get her hands on the film to review things, she'll take meticulous notes so that next time, she can be just a little bit better. She always wants to try and make the difference for her guys out on the field.
