Richie Meade Game Quotations

It was a real fight. This was a game that either team could have won. This is a gigantic win for us. I feel as though we've gotten no breaks this season, things haven't gone our way. We needed this one.

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.

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.

I think it's a very appropriate thing to do and I'm appreciative the officials group is honoring Scott in this way. My enduring memory of Scott is that he was always in it for the kids. He didn't take the game or himself too seriously. He really understood the role of a referee.

We made mistakes, but fortunately it's been well advertised that we have Matt Russell. I thought we played a solid game defensively.

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.

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