Captain Shreve was better than us for maybe 60 minutes of the game before we came back with our two goals to tie it. They are the cleanest playing, best team we have faced all season. |
Going from Jesuit's perspective he was frustrating. You could see that once Jesuit realized it was going to be hard to score, their shots lost their quality. They were kicking high and wide, possibly hurrying their shots. |
I feel like our substitute players really worked hard in the second half to get us back in the match. They brought us back and gave us a shot. We got a super effort from our bench. |
I knew this team had more than most teams. To find a new level of more in the playoffs is a pinnacle for coaching. Our team leadership has paved the way for a successful and rewarding season. |
I'm numb. I didn't think this was going to happen. We knew we were going to play our best. They pick their time and they go. All 11 guys were plugged in from the beginning. |
It's been a total team effort. On this team, one guy steps up after another. They've got each other's back. We have a strong unity on defense with each player feeling supported by his teammates. We have had great timing, and timing is everything in the game of soccer. |
Our kids love to play here. They wanted to have their best game after losing in the first round. This is a major win for our program. If St. Paul's doesn't score three or four goals it is a let down for them. They come at you, and our defense did a great job. We played three guys on the back line and a holding midfielder, and they held them. |
Our players are loose and are a confident bunch. They are approaching the championship game in a business-like manner. |
Taylor came up big, especially on the penalty kicks. He loves his job and was phenomenal. |
The offense has been consistent as it's ever been. |
They're not intimidated. It's so relaxed. |
They've got a couple of big goal scorers. They'll be our biggest challenge yet. |
