State College really serves tough. They were able to control the game based on their tough serving. This was the first time a team's been jump-serving at us, at least this consistently. We've seen jump-servers but not this many all game long. We struggled with it.
Travis Wright
I'm real anxious to see how we're going to do offensively. We struggled a little last week (in the preseason Fall Classic against Harmony) and I hope we got all of those kinks out.
Richard Pettus
We got a lot of bounces. We got on them early and after that they struggled. We realized that we're darn good and have a good chance of making the state tournament.
Drew Leblanc
It's starting to warm up a little outside and I think our bats are about to come around a little bit. Our bats have struggled at the plate and that's no secret. So it's always good when it's warmer out because the swings look a little freer.
Greg Mcvey
That's why we're the No. 1-ranked team in the state. It's the ability to overcome. We struggled but were able to get some huge turnovers at the end.
Cody Daigle
I'm proud that my boys didn't panic after getting down early. Our defense got better and better as we struggled to loosen up and our shots started falling.
Chris Allred
Troy did a great job. He struggled a little bit in the middle innings, but seemed to get stronger as he went on. If you put up goose eggs, it's a pretty good performance.
Clyde Metcalf
We just struggled all night.
Ric Garcia
We had some things we wanted to do, but we really struggled shooting the ball.
John Mraule
Retailers may have struggled to clear through certain cold-weather seasonal items, perhaps resulting in deeper markdowns on those items.
Neely Tamminga
We didn't run as well as we wanted to, but some of us ran pretty effectively. Our short sprinters struggled, but our distance guys faired better.
Andrew Jones
You look at a team like Creighton which has struggled with injuries and things like that, but they still have a roster of veteran ballplayers. For us to be as young as we are and finally be able to show some poise during their runs and execute down the stretch, it says a lot about how far our team has come in the last month.
Robin Pingeton
We struggled with Jason Kidd and Richard Jefferson but we found a way to help each other and I think we did a good job tonight.
Mehmet Okur
Early in my career, I struggled with consistency, but I couldn't get more consistent than this year.
Roger Federer
We really needed that. We struggled a bit in the first two games.
Jono Gibbes
It's something that we struggled with all year long is taking care of the ball against pressure. They exploited that tonight.
Dan Stephens
To overawe, or intimidate, or, when we cannot persuade with reason, to resist with fortitude, are the occupations which give its most animating exercise, and its greatest triumphs, to a vigorous mind; and he who has never struggled with his fellow-creatures, is a stranger to half the sentiments of mankind.
Adam Ferguson
When I first got on the board, we struggled with codes. There were a lot of codes in this town that didn't have any rhyme or reason.
Jim Haskins
To see a teammate put her heart on the floor like that is really touching. We struggled a little when she was out and when she came back in, it really shifted the momentum.
Jenny Gilbertson
For us, it started with the starting pitching struggling. That was the key. When you can't get a solid performance out of your starter then you're in trouble. Getting up 2-0 was nice but we struggled on the mound.
Josh Burkett
We had three or four kids shoot the ball well. We shot it better, which is something we've struggled with at times. And we made free throws.
Mark Jensen
In the first two games, we really struggled because of the new system, but I told the players to be patient and to improve in every game.
Alfrancis Chua
We struggled at free throws all year long. In the end, our kids stepped up and got some huge rebounds for us.
Don Showalter
We have struggled a little bit with leadership.
Mary Becker
That's got to be his niche. He has struggled but he's still coming out and working hard.
Skeeter Barnes
Shelby is an extremely talented team with great passing skills and teamwork. We just couldn't do anything right in the first half. We really struggled getting to the ball and our first touches were off. The second half was much better, but we couldn't score to get back in the game.
Nancy Connelly
I struggled with the idea that this character, being the parent, would go so far as to stop speaking to her daughter and not make more of an effort. We had it in bits and pieces, but it was hard for me to justify – that I wouldn't try harder, that I wouldn't reach out more, that I could stand to be away from her for that long.
Lauren Graham
Some moments we played well but overall we struggled with our opponents because we failed to raise the pace.
Marco Van Basten
I just imagined myself at practice. I knew I had to knock them down for my teammates and fans. Those are the biggest free throws of my life. It's unbelievable. I struggled shooting all night, but I knocked them down when it counted and that's what matters.
Kyle Clearman
Their guards took us out of our offense and we struggled to execute.
Brodie Odegaard
We played good basketball for maybe 10 minutes and struggled for the other 30. We've had a string of games where we've won by a significant number of points, and we've developed some bad habits.
Jason Hoseney
Raul ? he struggled at times last year when he was here, but everyone knew he had games like this one in him.
Geovany Soto
It is defense. Everyone is playing defense. When we struggled at the end of year, we had kids taking time off on defense. They were punching out instead of punching in. That was the big difference (Monday), and in the first-round game. We wore Sacred Heart down. In the second quarter, they didn't score a basket.
Steve Baldwin
We've had a pretty good power play all year until recently. We've struggled, and it's found us. Our penalty killing has not been great all year, so we've really needed our power play to come through.
Scott Mellanby
You have to give Rapids a lot of credit, they took us out of everything we like to do. Early on they were disciplined and did what they wanted and we struggled. I'm proud of the way the girls battled and found a way to win a game we shouldn't have won.
Heidi Michaelis
I had full rides to Nebraska, West Virginia, Marshall, Youngstown State and Pitt, ... But I struggled with my grades and couldn't play Division I.
Billy Blanks
It's all about the players every night. We can stand there and tell them what to do, but they're doing it. And all the credit goes to the players and my assistant coaches, Ray Bennett and Mark Hardy. They were fantastic. I kind of struggled on the bench at times because of the pace the game was going, so it's going to take some time.
John Torchetti
We see this as a short-term, one-time gain. Management did not even touch on how they plan to get the Cracker Barrel concept turned around. The core chain (Cracker Barrel) has struggled mightily of late from an operating fundamentals perspective and significantly lags the industry.
Jack Russo
We've been up and down like a yo-yo. We're in the same boat we were last year. We let some games get away that we felt we could have won. Maybe we got some that could have been given away, too. It balances out. We've struggled here of late.
Dave Oberle
That's something we've got to work on. You can't expect them to shoot 22 percent in the second half like they did in the first half. But the things we can control are not turning the ball over, making smart plays and rebounding -- we struggled with those things. We've got to focus on playing a full game.
Kyle Cieplicki
Our pitchers struggled to find the strike zone, but our bats came alive. This was easily our best hitting game of the year.
Jeff Thorne
Ever since Lauren Bradshaw left a couple of years ago, we have struggled with the shortstop position. Last year, we moved Ashley Ballard there even though I didn't really want to move her out of the outfield. We have to find someone who can play that position because the middle of the defense is so important.
Jessica Reynolds
When I look back, I'm proud of where he's come from. He's overcome adversity; he struggled early on, but he was persistent.
Mark O'brien
We had just three players score in the first half. Scoring balance has been a problem for us all year. We really struggled with it.
Dave Boots
Our team really struggled. But I was happy with both my and my team's efforts.
Art Linares
He struggled a little. But that ended quickly.
Jeff Tageant
We struggled on offense, but we did a good job hitting our free-throws. It's really nice to see it; this was a big game for us.
Mike Royer
A lot of our new players struggled because of the conditions. They?re not used to playing in wet and muddy conditions, so it took them a little time to adjust.
Scott Neal
They came out and spread the floor and held on to the ball. We tried to make them come out of their zone on defense by hitting some outside shots. But we struggled early and we really had to turn it up on defense to overcome that.
Wil Smudde
That is one hard team to guard. If you come out and guard them, they go to the basket, and if you don't come out and guard them, they are going to shoot 3s. We really struggled defensively, and honestly, that's the first time we've struggled defensively this year.
Alan Ayers
It wasn't up-tempo by any means. We really struggled from the floor tonight. Our offense just couldn't get on track and they're patient enough offensively.
Darren Sinnaeve
We had chances. He really struggled with his command and that got his pitch count up pretty fast. But you've got to get that hit that brings in some runs. We just couldn't get it.
Craig Counsell
I thought we played a really good third quarter. We struggled a little bit in the first half, but we played well enough in the third quarter to overcome it.
Jay Osborne
We really struggled with making the routine plays. Every team has to make the plays when your pitchers work hard for you and get a ground ball. You have to get the outs.
Susan Waters
Our first half performances set the tone in both games. We played a great first half against Hamden, but we struggled against East Haven.
Jake Palluzzi
We had chances. (Martinez) struggled with his command and that got the pitch count up pretty fast but you've got to get that hit that brings in some runs. We just couldn't get it.
Craig Counsell
I have always struggled to achieve excellence. One thing that cycling has taught me is that if you can achieve something without a struggle it's not going to be satisfying.
Greg Lemond
Every year we have said that our goal is just to get there (to the championship). We've accomplished what we wanted to do and there's nothing that would make us all happier than seeing that 2006 banner hanging in our gym. We struggled offensively tonight to put the ball in the basket, but our defense was good enough to win it and we'll see what happens Sunday.
Chuck Miller
We struggled in the second quarter ... it hurts us a little bit with Kati Jo on the bench. But I thought we stepped up in the third. We talked a lot at halftime about boxing out better and not giving up rebounds, and I thought we did that.
Derek Sonderland
We felt like we could probably get it inside and needed to get it inside. Ryan struggled there a little bit, but our guys did what we asked them to do tonight.
Mike Gossett
That was the most important thing we needed was a rebound. We had struggled all game. They killed us on the glass. We got a rebound that we needed.
Jumaine Jones
Yesterday I struggled with the pace and today was a little better on the pace. I just tried to make a solid putt there.
Miguel Angel Jimenez
We really struggled last week. It was a little ugly. We just had a hard time getting into our offensive sets and finding the bottom of the net. But, to be honest, we've struggled all year offensively.
Karen Hoem
We were lucky to come away with a conference win today. Clarksville played very competitively, and our one doubles struggled to put away their opponents today, making for a very close third point.
Chris Ryan
No one expects us to do anything in the NFC East this year. Everybody's negative, and we've kind of brought it on ourselves because we've struggled in the past. But the bottom line is it's a new year - everybody's even.
David Patten
We've struggled the last six games not getting any wins, so we wanted to come out with a lot of heart and be aggressive on both ends of the floor. Guys came out and we executed. Before the game, coach ( Nate McMillan ) drew a big heart on the chalkboard. He wanted to see what we were made of. We came out and played well tonight.
Juan Dixon
Heading into the game, we knew that being able to defend them from the three-point line was going to be extremely important. We did a great job of following through with that game plan. Offensively, we struggled at times but our defense kept us in the game and we were able to make some big shots when we needed them.
Pam Tanner
We struggled at that [free throw shooting]. We've normally been a very good free throw shooting team. I was getting concerned, but we hit some down the stretch.
Gregg Holifield
They struggled against that team the first time around. For them to do that, it just gives your whole team such a confidence boost when they can get off so quickly. They played very focused and made very few errors. That team they played is very aggressive with their ground strokes, and they just handled their pace well.
Brian Kalbas
We just have to work a lot harder right now. We played good ball at the start of the season, but since the Hanford High game have struggled.
Gary Griffin
Michael struggled early, as our entire team did. But once he settled down, he seemed to get into the flow of things better. We just didn't play tough enough as a team.
Cliff Reed
It was definitely tough. We've struggled to get our form back and did tonight and yet to lose in overtime like that.
Curt Brown
Defensive line-wise, we realize we struggled to stop the run the first game. The next two games, we did a pretty good job stopping the run. And all we have to do is turn that into some sacks and we'll be good to go.
Michael Haynes
I drove nicely, but just couldn't hit the irons close enough. I wasn't really on either. Struggled but kept it fairly tight.
Henrik Stenson
This was the third straight game where we haven't shot the ball well. Since the New Berlin Eisenhower game, we've struggled shooting.
Tim Reuter
All history is only one long story to this effect: men have struggled for power over their fellowmen in order that they might win the joys of earth at the expense of others, and might shift the burden of life from their own shoulders upon those of ot.
William Graham Sumner
If you look at our scores for the first three matches it was our lowest scoring average of the season. So Needham played well and we struggled finishing.
Jim Butler
This time, we got off to a good start, which has been our Achilles heel this season. But we struggled with their press in the second quarter and got away from our game plan. It's been different things that have hurt us at different times. It's not just one phase of the game that is consistently hurting us.
Larry Eberst
Offensively, we struggled quite a bit this fall at times. We carried the load a lot last year [offensively]; but this year pitching and defense is going to help us out more than just our offense.
Chris Finnegan
We struggled early on with our team trying to identify their roles. That is what the early season and midseason tournaments are for. The guys have done that.
Chris Renner
Early, where he really struggled was getting shots. He became a jump shooter. He can make shots, but when that becomes the primary function, that's a problem. He's so good on the bounce; and when he plays the 4 or 5, they can't guard him on the dribble. He can hit the shot, but if they come up, he can go by them.
Dave Balza
The same intensity as on the field, he just attacked it. He taught himself English. He stands out for somebody his age, understanding the importance of doing it. He put the time into it. His personality comes through by doing that. It just shows what kind of guy he is. He struggled at the beginning, but now he's very good.
Jay Horwitz
We struggled a little bit in the first half, but we came out in the second by making some stops, ... We played really well together, cycled the ball around through everyone, and that's what it's going to take to make a playoff run this season.
Chamique Holdsclaw
This morning I bowled fantastic. Tonight the lanes played a little bit different. I struggled at the get-go but I didn't panic a whole lot. So I was able to hang in there and not worry about the number getting too close.
Ben Laughlin
Their upperclassmen made plays and ours struggled to convert on those 24 turnovers.
Dana Eikenberg
In the second game, we struggled a little bit offensively. We didn't do much until we got that big three-run inning. That actually ended up winning the game for us.
Jim Reiland
She needed that. She's struggled a little with her confidence, and it was good to see her have a game like that.
Mindi Winters
We have struggled a bit offensively. We were able to assess our level of play in comparison with an outstanding offensive team like Athens, which only lost one game the whole season.
Alexandre Louzada
I struggled in the first game of the series, and I didn't want to end my Yale career on that note. I really wanted to be in the net on Saturday so I could play like I'm capable of. I just went out, had fun and after the game, I knew there was nothing more I could have done on the ice.
Sarah Love
We've got to find out why we're not finishing. We've struggled with that a lot so far this year. There's not one person dominating, and that's not good in a way. We don't have that one go-to person.
Cindy Emfinger
In those days, who bought? Who had money? Aside from being ostracized for doing something no one else was doing, these guys really struggled, and there were a number of people who were not art collectors, who just wanted to help.
James Koshiba
We've had some young guys who struggled at times. But the more they play, the better they get.
Scott Ware
They went to a zone after we made our run in the first half, and we really struggled.
Lee Humphrey
In the past they have struggled with our speed and quickness. We still have that speed.
George Machado
He's a tremendous athlete. Last year he struggled at the plate, but he has really worked on his hitting.
Craig Trychel
We were definitely happy with that since we collapsed at Old Mill. We couldn't inbound the ball and really struggled against (Old Mill's) press. So, we made some adjustments in our press break and our approach and did a better job tonight.
Johann Jones
We struggled for everything on offense all night. Give Dickinson State's defense credit, they worked hard.
Sheila Green Gerding
We played well against a good team. We were missing some of our bigger players, so we struggled on the boards, but we moved the ball well and hustled.
Deke Routheaux
He also orchestrated the sale to Chemical Bank, which brought $1.4 billion of shareholder value when everybody else was selling out for nothing. I think TCB would have survived and struggled with the Texas economy, but Ben had the foresight to say let's join up with a stronger partner and not go through the agony of other banks. Why fight this battle alone?
Phil Conway
In every age, no matter how cruel the oppression carried on by those in power, there have been those who struggled for a different world. I believe this is the genius of humankind, the thing that makes us half divine: the fact that some human beings can envision a world that has never existed.
Anne Braden
Some of the other kids kind of struggled today, but even with that we're certainly in good position. If we play near our abilities, we could make a run at them.
Bob Tipton
I don't know why we struggled to hit the ball today. We worked on hitting the outside pitches in practice all week, because we knew that is all she would throw. I don't know why struggled, but we did managed to score one run.
Lauren Houston
We are stronger physically and defensively, and we were able to play 40 minutes of basketball. It is hard to play 40 perfect minutes of defense. We struggled in the first half, but that's the difference in the second: we don't panic.
Dave Springer
Payne had moments where he struggled with his control, but he pitched well. He had good defense behind him and that was good enough to get the win.
Kenny Gray
I'd like to see us become more consistent on defense, but there were some good plays that kept us in the game. We struggled some offensively, but had some clutch hits, and pitched well enough to win a close game.
Brendan Callahan
Both teams had tough years, and when you look at it, both struggled on offense.
Brandon Warren
He's admitted a couple of times that he's struggled to stay in the battle when teams have gone hard at him, but he has certainly progressed in that area in test matches and hopefully will do on this tour.
John Bracewell
We really struggled to get offensive boards but I thought towards the end of the game we really found a way to get them and got some big boards.
Tim Jermain
It's always good to get the lead early. We've struggled a bit with that this year. Tonight I thought we played well once we got the lead and we shut them down.
Andy Mcdonald
We were definitely happy to ?steal? the first game. But we were disappointed about the outcome in the second game, especially after we had a three-run lead. We hit the ball well in Game 2, but we struggled defensively.
Jeff Cloos
We struggled all along with injuries. That's been a constant battle.
Jennifer Diebling
We couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. We took an early lead but from there we just struggled to make a basket, and Manawa just pulled away.
Brad Rutta
We know all about those numbers. We've talked about that a lot. That's one thing we've struggled with all year. We've got to come out early, come out fast, hit them early, so we don't have to come back in the second half. We have to get momentum early.
Michael Stone
Our bench was big. We struggled there for a while, but right now we seem to be back on track with the little things whether it's box out or a lose ball, whatever it be.
Kristy Curry
It has been a tough year and we've struggled at times, but we're still in first place and that is the bottom line. It is good to see us come from behind the last couple of nights. Hopefully we can keep doing that. We have some tough games coming up and hopefully we can make the playoffs.
Kelvim Escobar
He struggled a little with his control also, but managed to avoid getting hurt by the walks. It is still early in the season and our pitchers are a little inexperienced. In time, they are going to get better and be around the plate more.
Vinnie Currao
We just did not take care of our business. We missed too many shots, made too many mistakes, and played non-aggressive. I sincerely believe we have three of the best players in the greater Houston area, yet all three of them struggled tonight.
Kip Anderson
It's just getting into the ebb and flow of the season. I struggled a little bit at the beginning, but once you find you groove, you try to stay in it.
Cory Sullivan
We weren't playing smart at the defensive end. We have a senior lineup, and we have to pull out this type of game. We needed to contest that final shot and make her win it at the line. She struggled at the line.
Michele Jackson
I've got weaknesses and they're still there. One of the things I had struggled with was being casual with the ball. I'm trying to get sharper with that and get everybody on the same page.
Greg Paulus
I think I probably built him up too high. He's struggled shooting the ball the second half of the season.
Mark Turgeon
They went to a zone, and we lost a little focus and struggled to execute. When we did execute, shots didn't fall. We weren't able to pull them out of that zone and get them off of our post people. We didn't make our 3s.
Terri Schrishuhn
Rebecca stepped into a really difficult situation, and she did a phenomenal job. They really struggled with her.
Christina Guerland
We struggled in the first game, but in the second game we decided that we were going to come back and nobody was going to stop us. We came together as a team, and fed off each others' emotions.
Steve Klosterman
If you're not giving your pitchers the run support, you're not going to give them a chance at wins, ... And to compound that, we struggled defensively.
Jim Richards
We had a lot of stupid fouls. I thought we couldn't buy a call, but that's part of it. We really struggled offensively.
Sandy Gordon
Scoring first was big because we've struggled with that against good teams. But you've always got to be cautious with Rapids. They've got some speed and you can never count them out.
Marie Muhvic
Our pitchers struggled to get ahead of their hitters. When you do that against a lineup like they have, it's tough to get a win.
Robert Abalos
Brittany struggled some the other night and I felt in my heart that she would step up and she did.
Hugh Godsey
Our home floor hasn't been real kind to us this year. We've kind of struggled here for whatever reason. We've seemed to have done better on the road.
Mike Bradford
I struggled a little bit early on. I didn't have my breaking ball going, but I once I found that, I got confidence and I was able to locate my pitches well. That kind of did the job for me.
Martin Beno
We've struggled at times on offense. We've don a lot of good things, but we only have two or three guys hitting consistently.
Jim Jaskowski
I wasn't that happy with the way I bowled, I struggled for rhythm, I even bowled a few no-balls and things like that.
Shane Warne
We really struggled with our shooting in that game, but that's kind of the way things have been all year. We fell behind by too much against a team like Austin Peay. We can't have that happen this time.
Gary Garner
We struggled with our weight all game. The ice was perfect. I love the ice here. We've had two picks all tournament. Today we just didn't throw right.
Shannon Kleibrink
That goal gave us some confidence, even as we struggled in the second period.
Chris Duncan
We played some of the best defense we've played all year in the second half. (North Medford) really struggled to get into any kind of offensive flow the entire second half, and we were able to take advantage of their mistakes.
Bob Feasel
It was definitely a back-and-forth game, numerous lead changes. Alex Jensen, being my best player, had the ball in his hands all the time, he makes it easy for us to create and score. People might say he didn't dominate today, but 13 points, eight assists and seven rebounds -- that's almost a triple-double. Will Brown struggled early, and then came back and had a big game.
Nate Spriggs
Cameron [Smith] struggled a bit, but they've got a real good defense.
Mark Crews
Our problem is all mental right now. They have to realize they are good enough to win. Since we've struggled the last couple of years they come in assuming they are going to lose. I'm trying to change that attitude.
Brian Dooner
Brazilians need to work on their own national pride. I always think that they suffer from national low-self esteem. It's a lesser-developed country, and they have struggled so much. Sometimes they have an attitude that, if it's Brazilian, it can't be good.
Amy Irving
We struggled at both ends. Mentor deserved to win.
Joe Mackey
This is a nice format because we get 10 guys competing on one of the area's most challenging courses. The boys struggled a bit today, but it was good to get on this course before we come back for the third leg of the conference.
Paul Strand
I struggled to get the ball down. I got steamrolled again. One thing led to another.
Eric Milton
I think I was trying to control the first two dives too much and didn't let it go enough. My reverse dive in the fourth round was the one I was most happy with because I had struggled with it in practice.
Emilie Heymans
The mechanical elements for closure are in place. In many respects, Swiss bankers and authorities have come to agree on the mechanism and procedures we have struggled for in the last two years.
Elan Steinberg
We've struggled a little bit with losing our focus at times. But we didn't do that in the first half tonight. We clicked on all cylinders.
Ed Mcclanahan
This is a good club in a good league. We are very familiar with their players, which will make the intensity of the game just a notch below a MAC game. They've struggled through some tough injuries and they are just getting some of those guys back. They have played a real tough schedule.
Ed Mathey
There a very dangerous team, they've got all the pieces there. They've kind of struggled here lately. You're kind of hoping the breakout game isn't against you. We've seen what they've done when they really played well.
Ed Dechellis
I came out early and struggled a little bit with the walks. I just tried to concentrate and make good pitches after that. Coach (Wayne) Graham came out and gave me (pointers) on something I was doing (wrong) mechanically, so he helped me there.
Eddie Degerman
We struggled handing the ball off (last year). (Fisk) does a good job pitching the ball. We had some fumbles last year that had nothing to do with the Option. The other night it was the same thing.
Fred Baker
We played a great first half defensively. We struggled to break them down one-on-one on the offensive end, but they've held some of the best teams in the country to single digits.
Ed Stephenson
It's money time. There are fewer possessions and I haven't done anything for two weeks. I struggled in the first half because I was a little overaggressive. I relaxed in the second half and was able to hit some shots.
