Played Quotations | Page 8

We started to execute more and our team did not have as many turnovers. We just played better as a team in the fourth quarter. I was a little nervous at first, a little nervous. They played us real tough, but we came through.

We started three guys who haven't played a minute of Division I basketball in this type of environment, and I thought they showed a lot of poise right from the beginning. I thought we competed on every possession right to the end of the game, which was what we had hoped we would do.

We started this game with some players on the sidelines (injured) that we thought would make the difference. The guys who stepped in there played their hearts out. It was a great team effort.

We started the season slowly, but since then we've won four on the bounce and played pretty well during that time,

Words played an important part in my growing up. Not only the written word... but words that flew through the air: jokes, riddles, puns.

We're still struggling in doubles. Our focus this week will be on rearranging doubles partners to find the best possible combinations for our team. Bottom line though, was our singles play. We came in and got it done in singles and it resulted in a victory. I give credit to all of the singles players today. They played real hard.

We're still looking at lineups. But Meredith did a great job of setting and Lillian played a great match.

We're still learning and trying to get better. We played better defense and didn't give anything away.

We're still fighting for something and when he comes back it will be even better, ... I don't know what type of shape he's in, but personally it will be great. I've never played in the National League and I'm looking forward to playing with him.

We're still feeling this thing out. The thing I love about hockey is it's a man's game played like men, and you go out there and battle and play the game hard, and that's the way it should be. As long as they let us engage in the battles at the net, in the corners and the straight-up stuff -- the stuff around the waist, they're gonna call. We're all figuring this out right now, and hopefully it'll get better as things go along.
