Glenn Thiel Quotations

We know what have to do. We needed this week to rest our guys up.

We have no breaks. Every week we have a battle.

If we don't come to play, we'll be in trouble. Hopefully we realize that.

He was the difference-maker. You couldn't ask for anything more.

He has to be close to death to not go out there and face off at a crucial time in the game. We hope we have a couple kids who can go out there and take some pressure off, but he's a warrior. He's the kind of guy who wants to be out there.

We just have to keep winning. We can't afford any more losses, that's for sure.

There are so many good athletes everywhere. If you are not ready, you're going to get beat.

It isn't easy when you've got the pressure on, the question always is are you going to do it or not going to do it. How many basketball players can't make a free throw; this time you have a goalie in there, it's a little different.

We hoped to key off of that and we try to. But right now we're just fighting through so many things injury-wise and just to have continuity at practice. We're not really where we want to be.

We had all of those chances to pull away, to tie it up and then to win it. When it was 10-10 we had Whitaker with a wide-open shot, and you didn't even need a goalie.

We have a freshman goalie who people are really going to like. If Drew stays healthy, he's going to be a very good goalie.

We didn't deserve to win the game. It was one of the worst performances in poise and intelligence we've ever had. I thought we had better athletes, better stick skills and were better at handling the ball.

We are just trying to fight through some things injury wise. We're just trying to get some continuity in practice.

We don't want to just go to the tournament. We want to win the whole thing.

We seem to be coming down with all sorts of things. When we're at full strength I think we'll have a very nice team, but the question's going to be, when is that going to be and how long is it going to take to get the rust out?

We should have been able to ice them away when we had them. We had the shots we wanted at the end but couldn't get anything out them.

Everything was just a little bit off. It was just your typical Wednesday game.

I've been doing this for 39 years, and it doesn't bother me. These kids are 20 years old. They are invincible. They can do anything.

Our defense is certainly very different from last year. We couldn't do too many things last year, we had a freshman in the cage who wasn't the kind of athlete that Drew is, so we had to adjust what we did defensively. We can do more things now. We can play some different styles because Drew can make the big save.

You never know, this is the toughest league in lacrosse. There aren't any breathers.

This is when you better start winning. Hopefully we keep it going, every game is tough.

It's bad pub for Duke, and it's bad pub for the sport, no question.

He can be phenomenal. He's going to be a very good college goalie. He's going to make us stronger in the cage, that's for sure.
