The first 20 minutes of the second half we really got out of rhythm and we didn't pass the ball at all and that's where we get ourselves into trouble. |
The first 30 minutes was the best 30 minutes we've played all year. That was the difference in the game. |
The key for us is can we play the way we want to play and knock the ball around and keep possession. |
The way that I wanted them to respond was 'Hey, let's go on and do something maybe that nobody's ever done before and do something a little bit special,' and they have a chance to do that. Obviously returning so many players who have the experience of going deep into the state tournament, the expectation is for us that yeah, we want to get back there and we'd like to get back to that championship game. |
They're going to be hard to beat. I would imagine winning the tournament is going through one of those guys. |
They've been in this situation before and they know what to expect. |
We got a little bit tired. |
We got done three times on the counter by an awfully good team and they managed to stick their chances away. We had a boat load of chances at this end and we missed some absolute sitters and it cost us in the end. But the game can be very cruel sometimes like that and we were just on the wrong end of it tonight. |
We got off to a dream start. |
We got off to a dream start. We bang in three goals in the first 10 minutes or whatever it was and that really settled us down. |

We made it difficult for ourselves. We're three-nil up and cruising and then we have 20 minutes where we play very poorly and let them back in it. But (we're) an experienced group and we got it back together. Last 15 or 20 minutes I thought we were really superb. |
We weren't real sharp in front of goal. |
We've got a lot of talented players in this group and collectively we all have to play well from back to front. |
