Joe Alberici Quotations

I am just proud to take over a program with such great tradition.

He was playing a little catch-up this spring and wasn't as sharp as we would have anticipated him to be. He has quickly turned that around and really has played some great lacrosse in recent weeks.

John has the ability, he is a slippery player, he is able to use good speed and he has a great change of direction. He has a knack of getting himself to the goal and is also a very good feeder so he is making others better. When John is at his best, there are not many players that are of his ability in the country.

Adam has a good defense in front of him that is playing better and he has been playing better as the season has progressed. I think the experiences he had last year, more or less being thrown into the fire, are benefiting him this season.

This has been a special group of seniors that has accomplished a lot. One of the things missing from their resume is a win over Navy. That's a huge void they would like to fill in.

It wasn't my goal to come in here and turn everything around because they have had some success. With a lot of things, if it's not broke I am not trying to fix it. There are a lot of things that last year they did very well.

I am not in a situation where I am nervous or trying to live up to coach Emmer. I hope to honor the tradition by giving everything that I have to my guys and to the recruiting process to bring in the best players.
