For us, it's not so much who scores but how we get them. They're almost starting to look better. At times it was a struggle today, but it was one of those games that was going to be kind of difficult. I felt we ran well and played a lot of guys and I was happy. |
He plays the game the way it should be played and he respects the game. He's tough and he's dependable. You can count on Travis Holmes every game. Whether it be defense or effort or whatever, those kind of kids are hard to come by. When you get a few of them, you are really appreciative. |
I think we're a lot better team than we were on April 1. If that [first game] was a heavyweight fight, we got knocked out in the first quarter. This one I thought was a decision. |
It's quite the X-factor when your goalie robs the other team. |
Last year was a battle and we expect a battle this year. We're going to have to play well to win, that's for sure. |
Last year we were 5-5 at this spot. We didn't want to be there again. We talked all week that all of our goals are still in front of us. We're headed in the right direction but still have a lot of work to do. |
There was 300 miles of lightning, and it looked like lightning wouldn't end until 1 a.m.. There was no period we could get the game in. |
They are the only team I've seen out there that can outscore you and stop you [equally well]. They've really dominated ground balls. They've owned the middle of the field. They throw the hardest skip pass in lacrosse. |
They made more good plays than we did in the second half. But you've got to find ways to win, even when you're not playing well. |
They're 1. Are we 2? It's the first I've heard. Then it must be important. |
We challenged our seniors to step up. At 5-5, it was their time to show they were really good. We knew we were in for a battle. We're not in midseason form. The only thing we had a flow in was extra-man [offense]. It's quite the X factor when your goalie robs the other team. |
We haven't practiced well since the Duke game, and unfortunately, maybe we needed a loss to recognize that. We didn't handle success as well as we would have liked. |
We just needed a win. When you go two weeks without winning, you start to get on each others' nerves a little bit .... We've been knocking on the door with the senior class, and this was a sweet win. It's a win that matters at a place that's hard to win @, and we're very happy with it. |
We thought Towson was in a good spot coming into this game. They were coming off a loss, so we knew we would be in for a battle. At times today, they played better than us. |
We're executing all even at a very low level. I think that has been the malady of our team right now. Quite clearly we are not at the level of execution on half-field offense the way we should be. Right now, you should be scoring one out of every three half-field possessions, and we're nowhere near that. |
