Tim Tierney Quotations

We've got a young team, but we played better today picking up a few goals.

When you blow a nine-point lead like that you definitely lose your momentum. We continued to battle until the end, but we fell short.

My job is to create and (Holy Cross) gave me the lane a couple times. If it's there I'm going to take it, if not I'm going to kick it out. Other guys stepped up tonight and knocked down shots.

Ku Kwon had an excellent game of defense, and freshman Patrick Hilton has done a great job of stepping it up.

Nat Broderick had several good chances to score as did Hardy Merrill. We're a young team, so I was happy to see us stay in the game.

That was a cool experience. But now it's our turn. It's our turn to play, our turn to shine. I can't wait to get down to Rupp.

We have an idea what to expect when we get down there. We know what the floor is like. We know what the crowds are like. We didn't get to play, so we didn't get the full experience of it. But now we're ready for that.

We knew it was going to be packed tonight and Holy Cross would be playing with a lot of momentum. But it's going to be like this at the district.

This was the first win for Randolph and their first goal of the season.

You get a little nervous playing in front of everybody. Obviously, it's cool.

Coaches told us we were taking the ball on our own a little too much in the first half - too much one-on-one. We got the ball moving in the second half and got open shots. We made the extra pass and got the offense going.

They had a lot of break-away chances and scored. We had a few break-away chances, but we hit the goal post instead of the net.

That kind of spirit really gets us going. Any place you play, if you have support like that, it makes it feels like a home game. It definitely gives us an advantage knowing you've got that many people behind you.

It seemed like everything went wrong at the same time there at the end. That one possession I think we got four shots up and missed every one of the them. It just wasn't our day.

I've had a couple schools talk to me, but I've not decided on a specific college yet. I definitely want to keep playing.

Once again Dan kept us close. They were definitely the faster team, but we had our chances.

In the first half we knocked some shots down, but our offense didn't seem to be clicking. We picked up our defense a little bit and I think that helped our offense in the third quarter.

All those close losses are building up in the back of our minds. Coach said he wants us to keep them there because we'll work harder so we don't have to experience it again in the playoffs.
