Any time you have a game like this, it's a special moment. |
At the end of the day, it was kind of the perfect game for us. It was certainly a quality win on the road. |
Ben is tough and smart and can also get to the cage. A full season from Ben elevates the entire team. |
Duke is a very significant player in college men's lacrosse, and to lose them even for the remainder of the spring is a significant blow to the picture of college men's lacrosse. It's why we all are so concerned and so interested in Duke's wanting to get this thing started again. It's a very important piece of the college lacrosse puzzle. |
Each of these years is not the same. The quality of these seniors usually determines how things are going to play out. |
For 20-15 to happen, both teams have to cooperate. Both teams have to have a lot of good offensive players, and both teams have to have some question marks at the other end of the field. |
He has a strong left hand and the potential to crack one of the top units. Kevin is big and strong, a willing student and a quick study. |
He has enormous potential and an aggressive instinct disguised by his quiet demeanor. He really came on late in the fall. |
He is both strong and quick, one of the toughest to beat one-on-one. With a little more experience, Tim has the potential to burst on to the national scene. |
He needs to be a little bit more of an angry shooter. His shooting skills are good, but they could be better -- they will get better. |
He's a goal scorer. He hardly ever takes a bad shot -- when he has a bad angle he can go over his back and get the better shot. It may look a little showy but it's the right play to make. |
I don't know the magic formula. It's something we have to deal with. We'll work hard this week and get back to it for the stretch run. |
I don't think it's likely that we'll get involved with a bunch of these kids. I don't think it's going to happen. I would tell you that in all honesty that any short-term gain that Virginia or any other college program might gain from having somebody come to their team, I would trade that in a heartbeat for Duke coming back as a strong lacrosse team next year. |
I never in my wildest dreams thought we would be here at this point like this. But I don't sense that we are that excited about it. I don't think the kids care about 10-0 a great deal. |
I think it is very important for us to continue to improve. We're reaching a point where we are close to being playoff eligible -- We're concerned about being part of it at the end. |
