Matt Kane Quotations

From his position, he doesn't always get the assist. But he's good at getting the ball and getting it around the back and reversing sides of the field with it. His job is to get it into the offensive third.

He is a senior with a lot of experience who attacks well out of the back and is a strong outside defender.

He's added some stability in the middle of the field. I have him playing sometimes at center mid and sometimes at stopper. He's played well and wins the ball in the air on 50-50 balls well.

We made some bad defensive mistakes. We got caught flat-footed early on. At times, though, we were dominant.

I thought we were going to be a lot better. I think the kids thought we were going to be a lot better. It just didn't happen.

Paul has been a nice surprise. He grew up playing goalie and brings a lot of experience.

We played really well in the first half. We slowed the game down and moved the ball around nicely. In the second half, we tried to run with them, and we really can't do that. I think we just ran out of gas.

We gave up that bad one right before the half, and that one killed us pretty much. We weren't playing that bad. Defensively, we got sucked to the ball a couple times and didn't stay with people, and that's how they got the other two goals.

We just had some bad defensive mistakes and were caught flat a few times and gave up a few goals. I thought we actually played better throughout the game and dominated parts of it but we can't give up bad goals and win and not score.

After Kyle got hurt a couple of games ago we put Guzman at sweeper and he has done such a good job that we are going to keep him there. Though he has been playing right back for two years, Derek is our best decision maker at sweeper.

Things didn't work tonight. When we did have opportunities, we hit it wide. We hit a couple wide when we had open goals. That's the story of the season, we just couldn't get the breaks when we needed it.

Things didn't work (Thursday), and when we did get some opportunities, we kicked it wide, or we hit the post once. It's pretty much the story of the season. We didn't get the right breaks here and there, and nothing went well.

The kids who take them are good scorers. And Paul seems to find a way.
