Consistency doesn't matter if everyone shoots 100. We all struggled in the conditions and left many shots out there. If you asked everyone on the team, I'm sure they would tell you that they could have shot at least 5 shots better if given another chance.

Sharla Cloutier

Our goal was to take away their transition game. We struggled keeping our composure in the second quarter, but we stayed with it and took care of business.

Donnie Cheatham

I felt very good with my serve. I struggled with it in the second set, but everything else felt very good.

Lucie Safarova

Defensively we were okay. Offensively we struggled to put together the combinations we're used to.

Susan Peel

We've struggled in that type of situation all year long. So it was nice to get a hit there and get a more comfortable lead.

Terry Walsh

I'm not sure what it is, but we've really struggled in the second period this year. Overall, we played pretty well. We came out and skated hard. But we just can't seem to put together a good second period. And that's something we need to address.

Larry Kupczyk

They adjusted well and we struggled against the zone. We came out anxious in the third quarter, made some turnovers and we broke down. Once we did, we could never get it back.

Donald Parker

He understood his economic situation. That's part of his work ethic. He knows how Stephanie struggled to get him some shoes. Part of her sacrifice drove him. He talks about repaying his mom.

Aaron Lee

J has been very consistent for us after he struggled a little bit early on in the season.

Russ Hellickson

Our defense has been solid. It's basically the mainstay of our team. Our offense is usually right there with it, but, again, today we struggled a little bit with our offense.

Don Arceneaux

Defensively we are really solid and getting better. Offensively we have struggled at times, but we are getting better and hopefully we peak at the right time.

Roger Walters

We played very good basketball on the defensive end and that's a credit to our kids. But we struggled on the offensive end. We've lost our offensive efficiency since the Christmas break.

Mark Ritter

Devon was tough to match up against inside. We struggled to finish for a while. Corey was the one who could finish by getting to the basket. He exploded to the hoop. It it tough to match up with a kid who has that strength.

Corey Gadson

One of (the) things we struggled with in the past is getting down on ourselves and letting one game affect the next.

Blake Powers

We think defensively we've played pretty solid football this season. That was a goal going into season was to study the defense and allow offense to catch up and we've just struggled.

Vern Miller

We knew the first five minutes of the third quarter would be important. Fort Worth played well and we didn't. We really struggled offensively. Give them credit, because they took some good shots and really opened up the floor.

Terry Thimlar

We really struggled in the first half. We didn't make lay-ups and we didn't contest the shooter like we had worked on in practice. We played well in the second half, but we spent too much energy trying to catch up and didn't have enough to win.

Jake Palluzzi

I played really well on the front side, made some birdies early and struggled through the back. Today I was very lucky that I made all of my par putts on the back side.

Troy Matteson

We've had trouble giving up the big inning. It's been our undoing all year. We've struggled with consistency, and we've got to learn how to finish. But our kids don't quit. I think that's going to pay dividends by the end of the year.

Jeff Rooklidge

We struggled to score runs against some very good pitching.

Sadaharu Oh

She's just struggled through this because she loves the game so much and wants to play. For her, hopefully it was a memory she'll have the rest of her life.

Curtis Barney

Even though we struggled at the start, we wanted the win, so we turned it on in the second quarter and played at that pace the rest of the way.

Joe Whealy

I messed up a little bit, but it was hard to play golf, too. I really struggled today. I did not play the way I wanted to. Hopefully I can work on it and get something going. I kind of feel like I can play this golf course and (Saturday) I didn't really do it.

Mathias Gronberg

She's one of our top players, but she's struggled all semester.

Andrea Gaston

At the beginning of the year, I think we hit our stride pretty well. But getting down the stretch, teams are keying on certain players and that's something you need to adjust to. I think we struggled with that of late, but there's definitely another level we want to get to and I think we're capable of. That's going to have a big impact on how far we go, and we realize that.

Robbie Earl

I struggled some on my front nine today. Its a course you need to keep the ball in play. It is a good start, anything in the 60s is good.

David Eger

We struggled with that last week. We've got to get the job done.

Travis Moyer

The big thing is throwing consistent strikes. If our guys can do that, they're going to have a chance to succeed. For the most part we did a good job of that. Cody in that last inning struggled a little bit with his command, settled down and made some adjustments and got them out.

Jim Gabella

We're starting to pick it up. I think we just struggled coming out of the spring and going right into the Florida State League.

Blake Johnson

South Elgin is a first-year program with mostly sophomores and they struggled. It was all right to have an off night, but I am disappointed we didn't shoot better. Everyone has to pick it up a little.

John Cordes

That was his best game of the year. He had 31, which is fabulous, but his rebounding and his defense were really strong tonight, and he had struggled in the past 2½ weeks. He did the things we asked him to do.

Tom Maier

It was no good really. I struggled from beginning to end. Something is wrong with the bike and we daren't change to the second, as we hadn't run that other one yet. So to say I am disappointed is an understatement. Every time I entered a corner, right or left, it was chattering, and I was so sideways. It has to be the bike, because James and I have such a similar race set-up, it's just not funny.

Karl Muggeridge

I struggled through the individual and so I'm pleased because at least I've come away with a medal.

Jason Gardener

We came out and really struggled to run our offense, resulting in a lot of transitions for them. When we take a break, it's not pretty.

Mike Stair

We see now that 85 percent of the population has access to primary healthcare services in camp settings. You see that more children are in school than ever before - something like 300,000 - and 46 percent are girls. Water supply and sanitation is something like 70 percent of the population. That is something we have never seen, and we struggled very hard to build that up.

Daniel Toole

We did not think it would be as difficult culturally as it was for the players to adapt, ... On the field, we struggled and our mistakes were more obvious. But when we brought in foreign players to live and play here, it was more difficult and more involved than we thought.

Antonio Cue

We struggled scoring inside tonight. Defensively, we did OK. We didn't play a bad game.

David Long

I think they've struggled ever since Cole has been out for them. He was key and he hurt Montreal in the past, and him not being there hurts them still.

Mathieu Dandenault

Life was a general interest magazine and since its reincarnation, it had always struggled to find its identity, to find its position in the marketplace.

Don Logan

We really struggled scoring. We missed shots we normally make. We just didn't play as well as we have normally been playing.

Doug Tolin

We struggled for rhythm the whole game. That's to their credit. We didn't play great but again, credit their defense. We had that one spurt, but they shut us down and we couldn't quite get over the hump.

Dick Wilcox

I struggled in the first half, but I couldn't feel sorry for myself. Somebody needed to step up.

Kristi Toliver

We usually start off slowly. We usually play better in the second half, but we just played well in the second quarter and they really struggled shooting the ball. Obviously, that made things easier for us. We didn't change anything. We went with our game plan. We just did a better job executing.

Connie Allen

When my parents came over, they weren't accepted by the British people. They struggled to hold on to their own values and traditions. They worried that we would lose our Asian identity.

Jasvinder Sanghera

We have struggled with our offense. Today, our offense in the first half looked good. We have to build on what we did in the first half. Teams get easier from here on out. We have got a good chance of going 6-0 (the rest of the season).

Floyd Burnsed

We struggled a little bit in our Bakers but picked it back up in the regular bowling. I really have to say it was quite a team effort. When one of us was down, someone else would pick it up.

Dave Jackson

We felt we had a shot if we didn't dig ourselves a big hole. We played with a lot of heart and enthusiasm. We struggled at the end of the season. We went back to basics and things have worked out. At this stage, there is no tomorrow.

Chad Belville

It's a big stage Sunday on CBS. I'm ready for it. We've struggled with Kentucky since I've been here. We're going to try and change that.

Ronnie Brewer

It's a strategic decision that also serves our mission, ... There are more people in our service area who need specialty services than labor and delivery, and OB has, historically, struggled at Porter.

Peter Boyle

I haven't struggled this year, but I haven't done the right things. It was more of an approach (Sunday) to each at-bat that I wasn't going to waste any opportunities.

Herman Demmink

It's no secret that this team struggled with the Charger last year. We're still searching for the right balance with the Charger.

Matt Borland

We played like it was the beginning of the season. We were pretty rusty. Our hitting was very spotty, nobody hit consistently and our defense struggled.

Steve Bullock

When you see our drives, we took them the length of the field, converted third downs and converted inside the red zone, which was something we struggled on in some of the other big games we have played this year.

Andrew Connor

We needed this. It was kind of what the doctor ordered because last week we struggled in terms of scoring. We put up 44 against Red Oak and 48 against LC, and our offense is better than that. It wasn't a case where we were turning it over, it was a case where we didn't shoot well, and tonight we shot it very, very well. We got some confidence back.

Tony Vis

I thought we played a good defensive game. We struggled offensively though both from the field and the free throw line.

Freddie Leathers

Larry played extremely well. He has struggled and he'll be the first one to tell you that. But he's capable of stealing a game by himself.

Nick Iaciancio

We struggled to get our shots to fall, but overall we had a good season. We saw lots of improvement in our players and their skills and I am very proud of them.

Lynnette Creed

Our guys struggled a little in the top doubles spots, but I'm not concerned because these guys always seem to bear down and win the key points when it counts.

Susan Reynolds

We struggled in the first game. We gave up those three in the sixth and that hurt, but we were already behind.

Mark Woodworth

It struggled because there was no formal financing for it. I had to beg and borrow and everything.

Joe Zanghi

It was especially tough for me, because I had to play the post position. It was a totally different spot. It was tough because you didn't have that security of rebounds of course— he's in double digits a night, plus we couldn't get the ball into the post. That's why we struggled against teams like Decatur, which have big post men.

Clay Byington

It was better today. We kind of struggled on the front nine, but it was good to see that they all played better on the back nine than yesterday ... We finally started to make some putts. I think we got a little more comfortable on the greens.

Bo Stephan

We really struggled in the third quarter and that was when Grand Junction really took advantage of our struggles.

John Mraule

Great season, bad night. Offensively, we struggled all night (11-of-53 shooting overall). We just weren't making shots from the outside. There were stretches where we just couldn't make a shot and at this point of the tournament you just can't do that.

Bill Strand

She hadn't thrown all year, so she struggled a bit.

Bill Beasley

You just can't do that. In the first half, especially, we struggled to be strong with the ball. We have to fix that.

Blake Ahearn

We struggled with our shooting. We have to play better to beat a powerhouse team like Thatcher. This team is capable of doing just that. We have to play better as a team. Again, this was an important conference victory.

Coach Kimberly East

They got four in the first and we had an opportunity to come back and we didn't. Their pitcher struggled and we couldn't capitalize on that. We had to answer back and didn't. They did capitalize. They hit the ball well.

Bruce Brobst

He was one of our top pitching recruits last year. He's had a few relief outings and struggled some. We know he has potential, but it's a mind thing with him. He needs to gain confidence at this level.

Kyle Poock

They struggled terribly with control, but they all have good stuff. It's one of those things where it was their first varsity experience. We just couldn't get the ball over the plate, we walked guys and hit some.

Marty Paulsen

I struggled to take off my seat belt and then ran through a hole in the fuselage, jumping over charred bodies scattered all over the road. It's a miracle I survived. I can't believe it.

Rohadi Kamsah Sitepu

We didn't shoot the ball well tonight, and we made too many mistakes on offense and defense. I'm thankful that the scoreboard came out our way at the end of the game. We really struggled tonight.

Jeff Gress

We've struggled more than I thought we would. We haven't had an easy time scoring a lot, but we have been pretty solid on defense.

Blair Martineau

One thing about that it is that (San Francisco) struggled in their league last year. I think Tanya will go in there and be able to fix that.

Pam Tanner

In the first half, we struggled to settle. We were playing kickball with that team. We settled down, and the second half we got to play.

Adam Skumawitz

I had my breaking ball going, but the command wasn't there. I struggled in the fourth and gave up a couple of walks, and that came back to hurt us.

John Lalor

This is a rebuilding year for us, but we have some very good wrestlers in our lineup and some who have struggled, but for us to win we have to wrestle well, like we have all year. Anything can happen in a dual, but we will have to win the matches where we are favored and stay close in the others.

Russ Cozart

We struggled to score. When Stephanie Higgs fouled out, that was the difference in the game.

Machelle Joseph

Right now I'm happy with the way we're playing. We really struggled in preseason.

Ryan Arnold

Brown came in and made a double play and then he made some big pitches in the last inning when he was behind in the count a little bit. The lefty (Holloway) struggled a little bit today but Brandon came in and did a quality job for us.

Denny Mccrotty

Our pitchers struggled, but there really wasn't much else we could do with their pitcher today. He's the best we've seen all year.

Darren Alexander

We'd struggled early in the game and committed seven errors, so we opened the door for them to take it from us. About the fifth inning we kind of got things going with the bats.

Lindsay Mccargar

We came in, and it was kind of rough, because we struggled for a couple of years. But, you know, we hung in there, got through it, made the transition, and senior year we've been playing real well. Hopefully, we can finish out strong, get into the NCAA tournament and do some damage. We're all just looking to go out on top.

Ashanti Cook

Serving is an area that we've struggled in. All the coaches were aware that Sabrina had tied the school record for aces. Her ninth one went into the net.

Kara Peterson

If we had prepared for them, I'd be concerned. But we weren't prepared. We struggled some on pass protection. But we'll be damn good. You mark that down.

Larry Beightol

We had some control issues. Scotty hit three guys and struggled a little. He pitched pretty well except for that one inning. We also had an error, which didn't help. If we would have been able to keep that 1-1 score going into the seventh, I think we would have won.

Pete Porath

I couldn't ask for anything more for a defensive effort. We held a decent Hendrix team to 37 percent. We struggled with hitting shots, we shot 35 percent. But our mental toughness and defense pulled us through.

Greg Mason

We struggled tonight, and Coleman played a good game. We need to work on some things and improve the level of our play.

Adam Peek

This is a huge win for us. We've struggled this year and to beat a talented Waupun team is big.

Jon Clark

He's a great student, just a rock-solid kid. He battled a bunch of injuries early on. He broke a foot. He broke his back his sophomore year. He struggled this year. ... but it's gotten down to crunch time and he's stepped up for us. It's been neat to see.

Randy Kriewall

Defense is what has killed us. The games that we've won, our defense has been outstanding and the games that haven't been so close, our defense has really struggled.

Brandon Farr

The second half saw both teams make runs, and Cathedral hit key threes to extend the lead enough to stay ahead. It was a strong battle, and our team has nothing but these type of games left. We have struggled to get a win lately, but we have battled sickness and injury. We are looking to get to full strength soon and to keep playing exciting basketball.

Phil Carlson

We struggled in the first half. We woke up a little [in the fourth quarter] and started to put the ball in the net. We had a lot of shots early but were just shooting, not aiming.

Fred Graham

We struggled offensively. We didn't make enough contact. We couldn't deliver.

Peter Zoppi

Matt showed me something today about himself as a pitcher. He struggled early but Matt came back and pitched a great game today.

Dan Fezzuoglio

I struggled all throughout last semester. Everything is better now. I have a scholarship and a place to stay. Having my school paid for is really good. I came here for an education, and football is giving me that. I feel blessed.

Reagan Mauia

We hit a bad stretch there of about three games where we struggled. Now we're getting back to where we should be. We've won three in a row and we've played about five decent games straight. Things are starting to take shape.

Jeff Zickafoose

Argentina took us completely out of our game. We didn't communicate and we struggled to get organized.

Reinaldo Rueda

We were able to score in transition in the second half. We weren't hitting shots in the first half. Mars struggled with our traps in the second half and we never let up.

Kelly Mathews

We played a lot of defense -- we battled. But boy offensively, we struggled -- we couldn't do a thing.

Pete Zimmerman

All of the girls played really hard tonight. We struggled a little at the end with their press but we were able to make up for it on defense. The girls are all really scrappy and they aren't afraid to hit the floor. I am proud of the hard work that they are giving it shows in practice and at the games.

Coach Lori Bell

When I started, we had no money at all, ... We charged what we needed to make our expenses. There was never a reserve or any effort to capitalize on the asset, which is the single most important reason why we struggled all these years.

Leonard Horn

We just struggled. We went down swinging. I don't care how many innings you play, you do that, you're not going to win ball games.

Chad Epperson

They pointed the gun at me and said don't move. One guy picked it up (the safe) they struggled and took off. Then a guy with a gun came back up.

Shawn Costino

We struggled on offense, but we kept playing defense and kept getting stops. I thought we controlled the boards and our defense was good tonight.

Todd Tripp

We couldn't get them down. We had a few looks, but we just haven't shot it very well here lately. That's hurting us. Mascoutah got up and guarded us. They did a nice job. That's not the first time we've struggled offensively.

Darin Lee

It's an experience thing, which is what we've struggled with in the past. I've got first-year players who are juniors playing against kids who were at racquet clubs regularly when they were 12. Without that experience you get too concerned with what your opponent is doing instead of yourself.

James Vanek

We're a bunch of senior guys who've been around. Even though we struggled in that one stretch, with this group, I don't think there was a lot of panic. They're a good team, and good teams go on runs.

Tony Binetti

Grants Pass played real well, and we struggled against their triangle-and-two defense. We did not have a lot of answers and we were frustrated by it. We tried to force things and committed some turnovers.

Dave Hancock

We got complacent. We struggled playing defense. It's not something that they would normally do.

Joe Fussner

We saw how they struggled last night with their outside shots and we thought we could do something with it.

Arlan Scholl

We struggled initially this season. We brought in seven new players. It took a while to get going, but we had more talent [than last year].

Larry Reynolds

It shows the resilience of this team, ... We struggled last year with being a four-quarter team. Now we are one and this is our first quality win against an NJAC opponent.

John Burrell

He's the only player I really struggled with. He was a strong, fast guy.

John Mckeon

Her front wasn't the best; she struggled off the tee. But when she made the turn, she really turned it on. She wanted to go to state really, really bad, and she knew a 52 wouldn't do it.

Tanya Niedbalski

We struggled a little tonight. We turned it over too many times and gave them too many chances. Other than that, I thought we did a good job playing defense inside and were strong on the boards.

Wendy Anae

We played well on defense, but we struggled offensively. The scoring drought that we had hurt. We're spent a lot of time on offense, so it's puzzling. It's definitely a source of frustration.

Quinton Dale

It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents--except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies), rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness.

Edward G. Bulwer lytton

Jon's struggled a little with injuries and the move to 171, but he'll be fine.

Ted Peckron

I struggled with my breaking ball, especially in the early going, but we spotted up the fastball pretty nice on the outside corner and it kept us in the game.

Clay Thomley

He's had a good offensive season. Defensively, he's struggled. But offensively, he's done a nice job.

Bill Evers

When he's healthy, he's a great running back. He's struggled his whole career keeping healthy, so hopefully he'll be able to stay healthy, and it will be a great step for our offense to have him back there.

Brett Ratliff

Crockett also struggled some last year. We don't want that to happen this year.

Shannon Baker

Having them here was quite a delight, ... even if we struggled against their depth.

Bill Tilden

The young pitchers have struggled some, but they need to go out there and establish themselves. If you want to be around next year, you have to go out and pitch. That's the bottom line. I hope we continue doing that and these guys develop into quality guys on our staff.

Rod Barajas

Considering it is early in the season, I'm pretty satisfied with my performance. My focus right now is to peak for the Commonwealth Games. I struggled in the preliminaries but I was much better in the semis and even better in the final. I'm happy with how I came back.

Alexandre Despatie

Blake is getting himself back in the swing. His last two rounds have been 39 and 38. Michael struggled in the last match, shooting 48, but he came back [Monday] with a 41.

Alex Adams

We give these kinds of teams life. That's the story of our season -- a team that has struggled. We'll have good days and bad days, or bad days and OK days. OK days won't get it done.

David Burgee

I thought we passed very well (in Game 1), ... But we've struggled in Game 2s.

Scott Robertson

We definitely struggled in the first tournament. But (we) got a lot better, had more fun and adjusted to (one another's ) personalities.

Billy Kelly

My serve was on. She struggled a bit with her reach, but I am happy with the way I played.

Patty Schnyder

This is just amazing for us to be here right now. We really struggled early in the season. All we had was a bunch of individuals, but then we came together and the girls are just playing great.

Matt Fowler

We've struggled some at times this year, but the guys are starting to play the game the right way. We're not a team that's going to hit 78 home runs like we did last year. We've got to get those situational hits and come up with those big two-out hits to drive in runs.

Rick Collier

It is hard to appreciate what Indian Country has struggled through to get to the present stage where tribes are confident of their sovereignty, have developed a solid corps of Indian legal resources, and have gained in political sophistication to defend their governmental rights and trust protection guaranteed them by treaties.

Mark Daniels

We're feeling really good. I'm real happy with the offense and it's something we have struggled with for years -- it's nice to see it coming through.

Julie Tovey

We weren't as bad as our record sounded. We lost to Jerome, but Jerome was a good team. We struggled throughout the season with injuries, but we're not using that as an excuse.

Jason Ricci

We've literally struggled throwing strikes. It's throwing strikes one night and errors another night. If we can get those two area straightened out, we'll be all right because we hit the ball very well.

Steve Rose

We have struggled against the 2-3 zone. We had a light practice on Monday, but a productive one, because we have needed to work on the zone.

Sheila Green Gerding

You don't win a state championship last year and lose once this year if you're not a good basketball team, and that's what Great Bend is. We just struggled to make shots and free throws, and that's been a bugaboo for us all year.

Kurt Kinnamon

I was disappointed in the way I played, but I'd have been disappointed if I was playing in a women's club match. I don't think I struggled because of the pressure. I just plain struggled.

Shannon Kleibrink

I just went out and tried to stay confident with my shot because I struggled in the first half. Somebody needed to step up. Tonight it was just me.

Kristi Toliver

I think we did really well. We struggled a lot this year with keeping the energy up for every event and I think we did a lot better at it. We got the energy all the way to the floor (the last event) and I'm really pleased with that.

Lisa Willis

We are very proud of him. Other than Adam, we struggled on the boys side.

Mike Hunter

Northwest Christian served really aggressively and we struggled with our serve-receive game. After the first game, we did better, got more consistent with our serve and we were able to pass in our serve-receive game. That was our focus that got us the win.

Jackie Sanchez

We struggled all night. Our focus wasn't there, but we move on. You don't have to be pretty.

Ray Lauwers

We struggled to get into our offense a little bit.

Bob Marquardt

This era liberated everyone, if you look at the long span of history, beginning with white southerners. Until black people struggled for equal rights, white women couldn't serve on juries. Almost 30 states restricted service. That's so foreign to us today.

Taylor Branch

We struggled to cut their lead to three, then (Coakley) hit some threes and that killed our momentum.

Gordon Gibbons

Both of our post players picked up their third fouls in the second quarter. Our bench did all right, but we struggled offensively.

Tim Ricketts

I didn't play my best today. I wasn't striking the ball as well as I would have liked to, and I struggled with my putting.

Paul Berry

The fourth quarter we struggled, but the most important thing was, we got the win.

Steve Seymour

This senior group is truly special. When we struggled in January, I told them they had to step up. They've come through much better in February.

John Schweitz

What we are doing is just a sport and the situation with MDA puts things in perspective. No matter what sort of bad day you might be having in racing or in your private lives, there are people who have struggled and survived through some pretty horrific things. It has been wonderful to meet these people.

Andy Wallace

They took the lead in the second and never relinquished it. We shot 4-for-18 from the free throw line and that was the difference. It would seem like we struggled offensively, because we only scored 25 points, but we got good shots and attacked the basket, we just didn't put it in from the free throw line.

Marc Ducharme

You have to give a lot of the credit to Angie Proper. We really struggled to contain her. They were able to spread us out on offense and got a lot of help on defense.

Karen Mccaffrey

We struggled a little bit on the mound. We'll be OK, we're still kind of experimenting with pitching.

Marty Paulsen

I always thought we shouldn't have been in 4A in the first place. In '99, we skipped from 2A to 4A. We struggled in 4A for a while. I feel like now we are right where we belong.

Charles Rosser

We just don't have a lot of people who can score with the basketball and we've struggled to get that done. Our margin for error is not great.

Kelly Graves

[Quarterback Jack McBride, Chris'cousin, struggled at times against Pequannock but is improving on a daily basis.] He has really solidified himself at quarterback, ... He made a couple of blunders, but he showed leadership ability and is a tremendous athlete and will only get better.

Brian Bowers

When she wasn't in there, we struggled. She really makes a big difference.

Jen Warden

I started bad this season and struggled hard thinking I must do something before the Olympics. I feel relieved to have performed very well in Sapporo.

Daiki Ito

It seemed to me to be a lot more pressure for us. We played so many close games last year. It was always like 'if we lose, we had a great season.' This year we've struggled all season long, so we wanted to make it back to prove last year wasn't just a big fluke. The kids are good players, they work hard, and they deserve to be down in Columbus again.

Frank Soria

I think we got caught not ready to play. I have to take responsibility for that. We struggled the entire game on offense as well as defense.

Spencer Hoffman

They put a lot of pressure on us in the half court most of the game and we struggled with it. We should have gotten the ball to the free-throw line more. Once we got it on the wings, they really attacked us. We just never got anything going offensively all night.

Ron Reichle

We struggled a little and they made it very hard to penetrate the middle. We made some adjustments at halftime and played better.

Jim Mott

Gavin made it tough on himself in the first inning. He never really seemed to get into a rhythm, even though he settled down after that. He struggled with his control (five walks).

Gene Lamont

We struggled against those type of offenses last year. This spring, we got a lot of guys some reps and they did a nice job.

Jeremy Rowell

I struggled a little bit, but I've been talking to 'MD' (pitching coach Mark Davis ) quite a bit the past few weeks, and he's really helped a lot.

Brandon Lyon

We struggled to clog up the middle and prevent shots from outside the 18.

Lance Lattin

Dave struggled some and went deep in the count to a number of their hitters.

Kris Doorey

Last week some of our defensive ends struggled. There were some plays, if they just would have stayed at home they would have made the play.

Shane Smith

They're always dangerous because of their shooters. We struggled at times, but any time you can come out with a win, it's a good thing.

Chico Furtado

I'm really proud of the way they stepped up. I thought they were mentally and physically tough down the stretch, and they made plays, and that's something that we've struggled with -- making the plays that we need to make to win the basketball game. I thought they did that tonight.

Fred Batchelor

My departure from Penn State was very painful. I struggled with whether I should just walk away and try to forget what happened. I finally realized that I could never put this incident behind me.

Jennifer Harris

We really struggled at both ends of the floor offensively and defensively. It seems like when we would make a run to get it down to 10 or six points, they would hit a 3-pointer or a big shot to get them in control. We never had a chance to get the game to where we wanted it.

Willie Graham

I thought we really stepped up in the fourth quarter on defense, otherwise we struggled the other three quarters. Offensively I was very pleased with what the boys did. They just seem to step up when they need to and that is something we've been doing all season. This was a good team win and I'm proud of them.

Dan Hoffa

I have struggled. If you do racing all of your life, and then all of a sudden it ends, what do you do? Do you go back to school, do you start a business? All we know how to do is race. That's all I've done since my dad put me in a go-kart at 4.

Jerry Nadeau

I have to credit Haley (Nelson) on a great job pitching tonight. She hit her spots for the most part. She struggled a little bit in the third inning with her control, but she battled back to shut them down.

Jeremy Trill

I thought we struggled a little bit in the first half. We lacked ball movement on offense, but in the second half we improved on that and were able to get some easy baskets.

Curt Lamb

This is all about selling more Microsoft stuff. This is not about turning HomeAdvisor into the No. 1 lender or real estate site. It's about Microsoft trying to find another way to penetrate financial services, where it has struggled in the past.

Jaime Punishill

It looks like they are doing a lot of what they did last year. There is still some of that uncertainty. It's early in the year. A team that has struggled in the past - you never know what they might change to.

Tom Kopatich

We struggled from the field a bit in the first half, but we came out and worked twice as hard in the second. These kids know when they're not playing well, and tonight they made the right adjustments at the half and just jumped on 'em.

Bob Feasel

[Drawing didn't always come easy.] He struggled with black and white, ... But when he got to Arles in 1888, he discovered the reed pen, and it was then he developed a more comfortable relationship with his tool. As reed wears down, it becomes softer, more flexible and responsive to his gestures on paper.

Colta Ives

We had a great week last week and we struggled a little bit this week. Obviously I don't think we were as good as everybody said we were last week, but I don't think we're as bad as everybody's going to say we are this week, either.

B.j. Sander

Dustin is one of the strengths that we've done a lot better with. We've struggled with our post play the last couple of years, and he's really given us an inside force.

Tim Branham

We struggled with that, ... made all the sense in the world.

Patrick Thompson

The early Irish Americans were persecuted. They struggled when they left their country, and they struggled when they got to the States.

Buck Clark

We really struggled offensively and lacked the timely hit.

Jim Richards

I thought they played pretty well for 75 minutes. They struggled the last five minutes, but that's OK because we'll learn from it. I hope they didn't play their best today, or we're in trouble.

Lee Mitchell

Emily played well. She said she struggled a little bit around the greens, but that will get better. I think everyone will improve as the season goes on.

Todd Schumacher

She knew how we struggled with ourselves.

Ruby Dee

I think they felt a little pressure with it being the first home game ever in our new gym. We had a great crowd, which really helped. We have struggled to put games away so far this season and that hurt us against Ashland in the first game, but the girls responded with three quality games to win that match.

Mike Brandon

(Monday), we watched films of a recent Greenwood game, and they really struggled from three-point range. They only made 30 percent of their shots, and they had trouble handling the ball.

Josh Aciukewicz

This has been a surprise all season. These kids have been through it all before and they continued to rise to the occasion tonight. We struggled at the plate tonight, but Brett got us the hit.

Tom Owens

We're not expecting any easy games. As much as we've struggled, we know every game is going to be a fight to the finish.

Heidi Martin

We've struggled up to this point a little bit. None of the Bill Davis cars qualified as fast as we thought they could or should. We weren't all that happy with it in the first drafting practice. We need to gain a good bit more.

Dave Blaney

I've been fortunate to have been through that before, where the offense struggled and the defense had to play every snap. I've been through it, so that's where I get some of my strength from.

Donnie Henderson

The result was in our favor. But we struggled to figure some things out.

Jay Powers

They came out with more pressure, and we struggled. They needed to do something because we were controlling the tempo.

Keith Gunther

We didn't want to give up anything easy on the inside. Both teams struggled shooting the ball. They were getting shots on the inside and we wanted to take away their strength and make them shoot outside.
