Will Stoskopf Quotations

We told them at halftime that a two-goal lead is the most dangerous in soccer because the next goal gets all the momentum.

I thought we possessed the ball pretty well in the first half. But anytime you get two city rivals together, it's going to be tough and it's going to be back and forth.

What we told them to focus on before the game was not winning but getting better. In the big picture, it's only our third game of the year. Our objective was just to get better, and I thought the first half was terrific and the best we've played all year.

We need to do a little better job of possessing the ball, and up top, we've to find a way to score the ball.

Even though we returned a lot of experience, it was still the first game of the year. The first game, you take a win however you can get it.

A big game like this, one mistake can cost you.

It was the first game, and you never quite know how you're going to play.

It's disappointing to lose that way, but we played really well, so we should come away from this confident and ready to move on.
