Assumed Quotes
The pace was such in the first half that we assumed we were going to struggle in the second half. We tried to take care of that through substitutions, but it's hard to do in soccer because then you begin compromising the rhythm of the game. We could see that. We could see that our pace and our work rate in the first half was so high. We were not only frustrating the opponents, I thought we were also being very stubborn in the middle of the field.

Part of the learning that maybe in the past couple of years has come during training will probably not come until we get into the first couple of games.

But again, there are so many questions as to how we are going to perform when we see opponents that I think it's more difficult than in years past to make predictions that we automatically fit in the second or third spot.

Assumed Quotes
Already, it's clear to me that leadership from the senior class is effective. It's not necessarily coming from authority that sometimes is assumed by playing prowess.
