Defensively we hung in there, but it seemed like our offense was playing catch with their goalie. We have to look for the best shot, not always the first [available] shot. |
Early on we played good defense, got some great looks [on offense] but just couldn't score. You got to give their goalie credit; he set the tone. |
I think he's one of the great young coaches in lacrosse because of his great work ethic and because he has a great rapport with the players. I think we're lucky both ways. |
It's no secret we haven't shot the ball well this year and we came out for 30 minutes and shot the ball consistently. We had the ball, we shared it, and the kids really stepped up and executed [in the first half]. |
There's a tremendous amount of pride and tradition. While we haven't had the kind of success the last couple years, the guys realize the history of the program and the expectations. We expect to be there and we're not accustomed to not being there. |
