(Massachusetts) scored its goals on a couple of breakdowns and lack of discipline with our overall team shape early. They did the smart thing-they tried to sit on a two-goal lead and they did it, and we weren't able to crack them. |
Bonnell was our first verbal commitment of the freshman class a year ago. He knew he wanted to come here. |
Eat as much as you like - just don't swallow it |
I left Tim's office a different man, ... All the little things that had been stressing me out no longer seemed as important and, as a result, I was able to focus on the things that really matter. |

I thought we carried the run of play and had more dangerous chances. (Massachusetts) finished their chances early out in the beginning of the game, (and we didn't). |
In the 4-4-2 shape, Bonnell is for sure one of the two (forwards). He's a target forward. He's got a tremendous work rate. He's a great kid and a great player. |
In the final 12 to 13 minutes of the game, we were just hoping and praying that we could pick balls up that were dropping. But they did a better job picking them up, and the game was theirs at that point. |
It eats at me. And if it eats at me, I'm going to make sure it eats at (my team). |
It used to be that we had the enviable lifestyle, but wages lagged behind, |
It was a good game. I admitted to the guys that I thought, unfortunately, we came out with the wrong tactical plan. We tried to sit up on the ball and absorb their pressure. That was where St. Louis had an advantage. It wasn't the right thing to do, especially on the road in front of a big crowd. |
It's a transition from where we were last year as a team, and, with that, it unfortunately takes some time for a team that plays that way to find its form. Early in the season, you can make a couple of mistakes and lose games like this. We don't want to make anymore, that's for sure. |
Most of the time, forwards are the players that say, 'Look at my name. I'm a forward, Coach. Let everyone else defend and you just get me the ball, and I'll do my thing.' But Steve loves defending, and he's good at it. He works hard and covers a tremendous amount of ground. |
Our intention is after April 4 to assess where we're at. In places that weren't able to get it on the ballot in time for April, we will really push and see if they can get this on the ballot in November, regardless of how the election turns out. |
