Dom Starsia Team Quotations

I think we fully understand that teams and people remember what happens to teams in May and not so much March and April. So we need to continue to improve.

For 20-15 to happen, both teams have to cooperate. Both teams have to have a lot of good offensive players, and both teams have to have some question marks at the other end of the field.

I told the team at breakfast we have to be smart enough to know that if we take anything for granted, something is going to come back and bite you. I give our guys credit for getting right to it today.

I don't think it's likely that we'll get involved with a bunch of these kids. I don't think it's going to happen. I would tell you that in all honesty that any short-term gain that Virginia or any other college program might gain from having somebody come to their team, I would trade that in a heartbeat for Duke coming back as a strong lacrosse team next year.

There's no question in my mind that is the best team that we will have played so far this year. They have the best balance overall. They're outstanding at both ends of the field.

It truly doesn't matter. We know both teams well. It's a little bit like a backyard brawl whether it's Carolina or Maryland. It's going to be a great game.

You can go bang a ball against a wall all you want, but how do you become a better team player? By playing other team sports.

The goals for Virginia lacrosse don't change a lot from year to year. We look at the lineup, start every year on Sept. 1 with the realistic goal to play at the end of the season, the very last game. This team has the talent to be able to do that.
