Rob gave his life. He gave his full measure and I haven't seen anybody give as much to securing his killer as he did in life defending his country.

Players are making the wrong decisions at crucial times and, while we don't seem to have a problem scoring goals, some of our defending is criminal and we just can't seem to keep a clean sheet these days.

Regan is a very tough and tenacious defender and should compete for playing time very quickly after her arrival on campus. She has good 1 v 1 defending ability and plays a very simple game, which does not often lead her to many mistakes. She is tough to beat, which can help us in the center of our defense and also has the versatility to play on the left side as a man marker.

Our pass protection needs to improve and we have to move the ball more consistently without penalties. We have to play our best to beat those guys. They're defending conference champs.

I was very exhausted this morning. I didn't feel 100 percent, and actually I didn't really play my game. I did more defending than anything.

I think our main focus of these next few games is really defending people and boxing out. I think whoever wins the battle of the boards will come up with two victories, either way.

I think Robert Morris is a very talented team. They scared me when they jumped out to that lead, but we regrouped at halftime. We started playing better defense and defending their perimeter shot better.

It doesn't matter that we've never seen the family. They lost someone defending our freedom, and we owe them more gratitude than we can ever give them. We're really happy to be able to do this.

I think historians in the future may wonder why in our defense budget we spent so much defending ourselves from missiles and so little defending ourselves from diseases,

That was part of it, but we gave a great defensive effort, as well. We only gave up 19 points in the second half. So I thought we did a better job defending and rebounding.

While a near-term supply disruption from Venezuela does not seem likely, the country's inability to meet its OPEC quota makes the government famously hawkish when it comes to defending an oil price floor for the group. This fact, along with a lack of foreign investment in the Venezuelan energy sector, should be seen as bullish factors for global oil prices. We do not see this changing until such time as the government adopts more favorable policies towards foreign oil companies.

We have a great defending team. I've said it before, your defense is part of your goalkeeper stats. I think the guys have done fantastic in front. Tonight, all five guys came up, played great, and limited their opportunities.

We will say nothing to them, we will not brag about it. It's not our style, ... They were defending their colors and we were defending ours. It will be kind and gentle in training.

Valley's the defending state champion, and we just got in a battle with them tonight and went toe-to-toe. Up and down the lineup, our kids performed. The question now is where we can find five points in the next month before we see Valley again at the conference meet.

We've been getting some help at practice by playing a 6-foot-5 girl. We've been defending her and she's been giving us some tips. That's something we can't get when we play against ourselves.
