Jones quarterbacks Western's defense

Western Washington University women's soccer coach Travis Connell admits that he coaches a sport that doesn't relate very well to statistics.

Absolutely, it's possible to keep track of how many goals a forward records or how many assists a midfielder dishes out or even the number of saves by a goalkeeper, but what you use to measure a defender's efficiency? There is no earned-run average or fielding percentage as there is in baseball. Nobody keeps track of tackles or sacks like they would for a football linebacker. Not even basketball's steals or blocked shots.
