Calls Quotes
We do a lot more things than other teams. We do more calls and reads, so I think by Sunday the guys were just feeling more comfortable. One of the things in rugby is that if you're the better team, you'll wear your opponent down. I think we were fitter and smarter and that slowly paid off.

Beginning Quotes
Well the New Year was a new beginning for us and we're one point out of third place. So we just want to keep inching up the standings board and see how high we can get. And we've got the schedule in front of us right now to do a lot of damage. We need to be focused on one game at a time and not think past our next opponent and our next game.
-
Against Quotes
We let down a little bit when we got scored on, ... Ordinarily, when someone scores against us, we get the ball out of the net and we're back down midfield in less than five seconds, so that our opponent doesn't have the lingering edge that they scored. We want to take the game back right at them.
-
Against Quotes
To me, that makes it legitimate. Sometimes you play a team because of circumstances with injuries or they're a lower division and maybe throw a no-hitter against them and you wonder. This was a legitimate opponent that's a very high quality and well-coached. The next game they beat (Darby 3-2).
-
Anxious Quotes
This time of year everybody gets anxious to know who your opponent is. Now we know who our opponent is, and we can go about the process of preparing for them. It gives both teams an extra couple of days to prepare for your opposition. We've been watching them. I'm sure they've been watching us live and on tape.

Against Quotes
When we went down there that, as a U.S. basketball player, you're kind of like a rock star off the court, but the minute you step on the court you are the most hated opponent that there is. Everybody measures their progress in international basketball by how they do against the U.S. That's a constant pressure every time you step onto the court.
-
Against Quotes
We seem to be ready to go. One thing I am doing this weekend is taking away expectations. We have had 10 days to work on getting better, so we will see how they come out on Saturday. The great thing is every match is important under the new NCAA Championship guidelines. It doesn't matter who the opponent is, because you are really shooting against the whole country trying to put a good score together.
-
Almost Quotes
The defense was there, but we just never got the clutch hit all weekend. We out-hit almost every opponent and lost three games. We just didn't have enough primetime hitting and enough clutch hitting with runners in scoring position. The team played hard, but it just didn't happen today.
-
Actions Quotes
Brad crossed the line and for that he must take accountability, ... We have talked in detail and he has assured me that his actions on the play at issue were a result of over-aggressiveness and over-exuberance to block a challenging opponent and without malice. His intent was to take the player to the ground, not to inflict injury. In any case, we regret that the incident occurred and apologize to Mathias.
-
Believed Quotes
Even though I was falling behind, I stayed positive and believed in my chances of winning. I felt very good hitting from the baseline and was moving my opponent pretty well so I thought the momentum would shift if I continued playing like that. I kept my concentration and was able to get the win.
-
Challenge Quotes
Dublin Scioto is a very good team that will present a good challenge for us. With the way the tournament is set up, there's no easy opponent who you would like to pick to play in any round. But, of course, we love to have the opportunity to play Scioto, because it means we're moving on to the next round ourselves.
-
Aggressive Quotes
I started out trying to mix it up, having some veterans and some rookies on four different lines for the learning aspect. Now it's settled in. I want a very aggressive goal-scorer to be with a good passer with a very good checker. Those combinations are working out good. The opponent is not able to shadow any one line with all our players on it.
-
Along Quotes
The schedule gives us balance in terms of not being on the road more than one week at a time. I like that the Big East games are mostly together and later in the season while we also have a good mix of non-conference foes from the ACC, Big Ten and independents along with an old traditional opponent in Rhode Island.
-
Athletics Quotes
I've picked up a lot of things along the way and, hopefully, I'll keep learning each game, ... I'm not the best athlete on the field, the strongest guy or fastest guy, but I think I'm mentally ready to play. During practice, I'm really focused. I like to watch film on our next opponent every night. Hopefully on Fridays, I'm one step ahead of things.
-
Against Quotes
Right now we are at the disposition to offer an excellent game against Japan. ... We respect our opponent highly. Remember that at the beginning of the tournament, we said that no one should think less of the Asian teams. It was a time when the United States, Venezuela and the Dominican Republic were the favorites. Life and the event itself have shown otherwise.

Coming Quotes
Coming into this season, my goal was to win district and regions. I would like to win states and if I finish lower than fourth I will be real disappointed. Last year at states, I lost to a guy who is now ranked first in my weight class. I pinned my next opponent and then lost to finish 1-2.

Best Quotes
Denver is a solid program that has been to the NCAA Tournament recently, and Colorado is a tough opponent from the Big 12. The past five or six years we have done our best to get Big 12 teams on the schedule, because they are always tough competition from one of the best soccer conferences in the nation.
-
Beats Quotes
Ann wanted to fight Valerie, ... and when she beats Valerie it will be another confidence boost for her. Ann wanted to fight an opponent that would actually make her fight and not run from her. If you look at Ann's last two opponents -- they both ran from her -- and that is frustrating to Ann.
-
Butler Quotes
Another solid opponent will be Northwest Cabarrus right up the road. We're going to be playing all the county teams, but they've done a real nice job and it's always a fun rivalry. Butler is in a conference that is night in and night out very strong. We definitely have our work cut out for us.

Act Quotes
As long as they don't direct it directly at their opponent or the opponent's bench, as long as it's a single-person act that's not directly facing the opponent, then we'll deem that it's not taunting, that it's cute and in some cases entertaining. It's done a lot for television. As long as it doesn't create ill will with their opponent.
