Richie Meade Quotations

Five minutes into the fourth quarter is when the game was won and lost. With a two-goal lead, if we start the fourth quarter with possession it gives you a certain comfort level.

I'm impressed that Army has found a way to win close games, often coming from behind to do so. That shows mental toughness.

It was like a fight we had on the playground, and we didn't fight back. When you play Georgetown, the bottom line is you've got to handle pressure.

When the other team only scores three goals, it's always a positive for the defense. I thought we played a solid game defensively, played with confidence.

If Army wants to push the ball, we'll push back. If the pace slows and there's a lot of six-on-six, we're fine with that, too.

Something I thought was missing from our first two games was our transition game. We were able to score some transition goals today thanks in part to our success in the face-off game. We also made some nice plays in the middle of the field which is a strength for us.

They were putting a lot of pressure on Ian and he made some bad passes, but overall he played about as well as he's played all season. Ian was more of a factor tonight because there was a conscious effort on our part to make him more of a factor.

It was a game of peaks and valleys and fortunately we were at the winning side at the end.

This has been our pattern. We played extremely well defensively and made just a few mistakes.

We kind of thought after what happened against Virginia that (Alford) would be on a short leash. I thought the kid they put in played very well. He made some very good stops.
