Once I rode him out, I felt comfortable that I could win. In the third period after I scored, I knew that if I could stay on his leg, I could keep him from scoring.

We took her off the machines. They weren't doing any good anymore. We took her around and she met her siblings and then we took her outside, because she'd never been outside. She died basically in my wife and (my) arms.

I believe I controlled him for the entire six minutes. I'm pleased for the first time up here, but I know I have to step it up (today).

I was nervous for about the first 10 seconds. Then I settled down after I got the first takedown. Then I relaxed and wrestled.

I don't like (one-point matches) but I've had a lot of them the last two weeks. Whatever gets me a victory, I'll take.

Ryan did a great job defensively the whole weekend, and scored just enough to win. It was a masterful performance.

You dream about this all your life. This victory is like a dream come true for me.

You can't cruise into the semifinals this season. You have to bring your 'A' game just to survive and get to Hershey.

It was my best match of the tournament. I thought I should have taken him down two or three times.
