A dream start really. You score five goals and you shut out a good team. Certainly a lot to be pleased about.

We weren't real sharp in front of goal.

A couple of them were really terrific finishes. … I thought he's been playing well lately and this certainly is a real boost to his confidence, sticking a few in the back of the net.

If we weren't creating plenty of opportunities I would be worried.

Alex is a terrific athlete, and he combines that with technical ability. He's a real handful for opposing defenses and proved that tonight.

It was super important. This game (conference opener) last year was the catalyst for us and it is especially important to win your home games.

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.

I thought defensively, at times, we got exposed. Far from perfect, and we've still got a long way to go to be playing perfect soccer.
