Scott DeMonte Quotations

We're ready for our conference games. We've played eight times, and that has allowed us to address our strengths and weaknesses.

Kane is a big scorer, with a lot of potential. But, we need everyone on the team to step up for us.

Jon's a good player. That's what we expect from him this season.

Jon is a great player, but we need people to step up in his place. We have a lot of people who can do so and everyone needs to chip in.

We need to play more consistently and with more confidence. We've shown flashes of being a good team.

We played better offensively in the third period, but not defensively. We were inconsistent all over the field.

We had some of our younger players get their first goals for us today.

To begin with, we were tight. We played real tense and timid today. They got up early on us, 3-0, before taking the 5-1 lead after one. We then played outstanding defense in the second period, but we weren't able to score offensively.

This will test our character now because the loss puts us out of the playoffs.

Billy played well for us in the second quarter. I wish we would have played that well defensively in the first.

Oswego is a team similar to us. It's going to come down to what team wants it more.

They were good. With a team like that, you can't let them play offense all the time. They are good and efficient.

They were good and we were bad. We had a tough day. We weren't ready to play, and when you're not ready to play against a team like this, you lose by 10 goals.

It's a huge game for both teams. They're going to be hungry for a win -- and so will we.

It's really hard to go down like that like we did in the first. They got the momentum and kept it.

Hughes played very well tonight. It was his best game of the season thus far.

I don't like to compare the score in other games. Momentum is a key. Every sport is a game of momentum, especially lacrosse.
