Season Quotations

We're really cornered. Nobody wants our season to end in three games. We just have to keep working.

We're real excited and focused and relaxed. Our season is not about how we started out but how we finish. It all comes down to a one-game playoff and we feel we can beat St. Joseph.

We're real concerned. We have not had a great season on special teams.

We're ready to play. It's the time of year where you have to put everything behind you. The regular season is over. We got the championship, but that's all said and done.

We're reaching a point in the season when knees are starting to get a little bit tender, and shoulders. Especially in the men's game, you know, you've got 190 pounds, it's not the jumping, it's the landing. I want us to be as fresh as possible in late April or May. If we gotta give them some days off and let them recover, I think with the men it's real important to do that.

We're putting things in place this season to get us there.

With these young players and the different paces of their maturation processes and with the success we enjoyed in the second half last season, anything can happen. I think there will be improvement over last year and that this will be a very exciting team to watch; the core of that team we expect to have significant continuity for seasons to come.

We're in a shoulder season here and you kind of expect the inventory numbers in the U.S. to build at this stage and the markets to be a little soft, so I don't think it's totally unexpected.

We started out the regular season with a win against them. I'd like to begin the region tournament with a win against them too.

We started out pretty flat. But it's getting easier every game. It takes a lot of teamwork and dedication, but we're bonding now. We'll learn from this one and by the end of the season we should be a pretty good team.
