It was a good win for us tonight. We have a lot of new kids out there and for their first tournament experience, I thought they handled it pretty well.

Don Byron

He's the best big man I've been around here. He proved it tonight.

Juan Alaniz

I don't know if we can guard Texas Tech for 40 minutes man-to-man. We were tired. Zone was good to us tonight.

Berrick Barnes

The competition should be very entertaining and it's definitely worth seeing. Hopefully we can get a lot of support from fans (tonight) and find some momentum heading into the Missouri Valley schedule.

Chase Hodges

We've been playing as the underdogs all season. I think we made a statement tonight. No one thought we were this good.

Andrew Engel

We got out-coached tonight, we could not make adjustments, in the second half they came out flying and we did not respond to that.

Brian Lee

This gives us a good start. We feel a lot better winning than losing. We think there is going to be a lot of difference at the conference meet and we are going to need our kids to step up like they did tonight.

Bill Harrelson

Our pitching just wasn't there tonight. We're still getting better, still trying to improve. There are some first and third situations that got away from us.

Curtis Eccles

We tried to tell our girls to score early and keep scoring. But Lake Worth had been playing lights out in this tournament. We had a tough game here tonight.

Chuck Layman

Tucker put us on his back and carried us tonight. Without him, we don't win this game.

Mike Rathgeber

To everyone who plans to give up smoking tonight, I wish the very best of luck. But I have a New Year's resolution, too, for those of us smokers who intend to carry on with our filthy habit. We should resolve to stop being ashamed of our pleasures, and to make our protests heard.

Tom Utley

We talked all week about having the instinct needed to put teams away but sure didn't show it tonight. We get up big and then seem to give our momentum and it just kind of snowballs.

Joe Aiello

We played our butts off-we always do-but tonight really showed how well we can compete.

Lisa Ryckbosch

It's your fault! All your money did this tonight! Thanks for helping.

Rascal Flatts

We're working very hard on both sides and very progressively. Both sides would like to nail this down tonight.

Richard Maloney

In the last eight games (since losing to G-A), we've been playing much better defensively. (G-A) is a good team ... but tonight our kids just played very well.

Jerry Mastenbrook

My performance, it's nothing compared to what those guys did today. It's about them. Tonight those guys went out there and shined. I just tried to get them back up there as quick as I could.

Seth Mcclung

It was important to win tonight. We didn't want to lose two in a row. We were glad to get a win. In the Southwestern League, you have to take any chance you get, because any team can win.

Andy Hall

I?m just trying to let the game come to me. In practice, I shoot the ball non-stop. I get into a game and I?m just passing and passing and passing. Tonight, when we were getting ready to go out, Brandie looked at me and said, ?You better shoot the ball.? When I had an open shot, I just took it.

Debbie Merrill

I don't think we should be sorry about the result. They just finished their chances tonight, and we didn't hit ours.

Joel Barrsa

Our team is based on defense and transition basketball. We gave up 88 points tonight, and that's very disappointing.

Gordon Gibbons

That's one of her better games. She was a leader out there. She played tonight like she's capable, and she took charge out there.

Ty Crawmer

You couldn't ask anything more from a first place game. The place was packed and the atmosphere and the rivalry helped us get ready for tonight.

Grant Spaite

This was a total team effort tonight. We won the battle on the boards (48-32) and I thought we really executed our offense well down the stretch.

Steve Rives

Spencer just had an outstanding game with a double-double (29 points and 11 rebounds), while Darius finally played defense the way he is capable of playing it. He will continue to be challenged to do that. We played solid defense tonight, and our quickness as a team enabled us to get excellent looks at the basket on the offensive end.

Craig Pippen

I'm glad you could join me tonight to celebrate the efforts of this community of artists and volunteers. I like to think we're all here because we believe in the value of art in our lives, and especially in our children's lives.

Teri Hatcher

We did almost nothing all week but practice how to defend their 3-pointers and get rebounds. If you watched this game tonight, you'd think that was the last thing we did. I've got to give Elder credit. They hit the open shots; they played defense. We didn't do any of that. It's a simple game, really, and they play it well.

Dan Fleming

After I read the story I wanted him to come here. A room was even reserved for him and he is sleeping here tonight.

Kenny Mjila

I'm confident we'll be ready to play Bedford North Lawrence (tonight in Martinsville).

David Thacker

Nat did a great job to pace us tonight. The team played with a lot of heart and determination today and I believe we are ready to play in the (Gulf South) conference.

Sandra Rushing

It was good to have Amanda back. She takes some pressure off of the other players. She did a good job tonight. Marion played hard. Caitlyn had a good game and Haley hit a couple of threes for us. Jenny always does well and tonight was no different.

James Cochran

If they (Sonics) get those rebounds, then they push it. It just goes to show that we were working hard tonight. A lot of rebounding is just effort, and it just showed that we wanted it more.

Joel Przybilla

The guys stepped up when we needed them to tonight. They hit the ball on a line, and that is what you have to do to be successful.

Jimmy Harris

We definitely played hard tonight and came out strong early. We came out and wanted to run them down early and that has been kind of our identity this year. We have been sticking to that.

Cameo Hicks

Our defense was spectacular tonight. It just keeps getting stronger.

Steve Segadelli

We've really tried to focus over the past two days on the little things we needed to do. We just played with confidence tonight and dominated on both ends of the floor.

Lois Heeren

You know it's going to be very cold on the bench tonight.

Patrice Neveu

Sarah's second 3-pointer buried it tonight. It took the wind out of their sails and even though they were a great 3-point shooting team and there was about 2 minutes left, it gave us the advantage.

Terri Deike

It's always easier to play with a two goal leader. That was especially true tonight because right before we scored, we were fighting the puck. The goal gave us more confidence and relaxed us.

Matt Smaby

This wasn't my team tonight. We got a couple strikeouts in the first inning and scored two runs. We were pretty excited after the first inning.

Connie Wunschel

It was a battle back and forth, like a heavyweight fight, with each of us taking our shots. My hat's off to Toledo. Tonight we just fought for it and did the little things a little bit better.

Matt Blair

There were times tonight when we were passive, and that's disappointing. But I got chased out of the locker room after the second game and the guys took care of the rest. I like the way we played in the third and fourth games. Saint Francis is as good a team as they were in the mid-90s, they have a nice future.

Mark Pavlik

It (the power play) was on tonight. It's all about moving the puck well and shooting at the right moment. That's what we're doing right now.

Christian Ehrhoff

It's nice when you can get five players into double figures. We had a lot of contributors tonight.

Ron Pucci

We're getting better. In fact, at times tonight, I thought we played some of our best basketball of the season.

John Sloop

Eric Gordon was absolutely phenomenal tonight. I'd be hard pressed to believe there's a better guard in the country.

Doug Mitchell

It's frustrating. What can I say? It is disappointing. It's been like that for two weeks. The positive thing is we got a point, at least, tonight but we've got to get better starts and play harder from the start.

Martin Gelinas

We have some young players who are performing exceptionally well. We had a great week of practice and it paid dividends tonight.

Travis Showalter

We've had role players stepping up also. (Tonight) will give me a better indication of how we're playing. A lot of times we've been doing just enough to win. ... I don't think we've seen the best this team can play.

Mike Ruane

He said he would do nothing to the children, that he would free them tonight. He's very depressed, he just wants a job.

Bernadette Mercier

We did not match Griffith's intensity tonight. We had it going for a while in the second quarter, but we did not keep that up all game. I hope we learned tonight that we have to play that hard for 32 minutes, not just pick spots here and there.

Joe Delgado

I thought he was the best big man out there on the floor tonight. Sam played very, very well.

Bob Strickler

I guess tonight we didn't really feel as well as we usually feel.

Maxim Zavozin

These guys learned by playing. We took our lumps early. But look at what it did for them. They were able to deal with all this tonight. They've come a long, long way.

Brian Courtemanche

He's their big man on the boards. He is the heart of their team and brings all the intangibles to the table. We just couldn't stop him tonight, offensively or defensively.

Barry Hutchinson

(When) I came here I had no confidence, I hadn't played like this in a long time. Everything was great tonight, the court, the public, the opponent. I respect Calleri a lot, he is a great player who hits the ball hard.

Richard Gasquet

I am happy we won, but I am not overall pleased with how we played. When we don't play well, we hold the ball. Tonight, we held the ball. I know our schedule had something to do with it, but we can't be effective when we play like we did tonight.

Flip Saunders

We outplayed them the first time, but we just didn't get the puck in the net. We've been practicing going hard to the net and tonight we scored much more easily.

Karen Mccabe

Three hundred teams started the season, and we're in the final four. Our goal is to get to 8 o'clock (tonight).

Dale Easley

We'll see a few flurries late tonight and some colder temperatures.

Jennifer Schack

We were much more comfortable passing tonight. We had a really nice inside and outside game that worked well.

Marissa Young

Mental toughness comes in varying degrees and we didn't have it tonight. Other teams have allowed defensive touchdowns and survived and I think our kids lost their toughness after that.

Phil Teegarden

Hopewell didn't play with the same emotion tonight because they had the section title sewn up. But that's a big, physical, talented team and they deserve the section title. They're the best team in our section.

Jeff Ackermann

The last three Engle hit was a big shot. We shot the ball pretty well tonight.

Rod Wallace

It's the first game we've won that's been a close situation. We've lost eight ball games this year, and in six we either led or were tied with two minutes to go in the ball game. So, we had a difficult time finishing a ball game. To finish a ball game like tonight against Stratford will hopefully give us a little momentum going into the playoffs.

Matthew Bradberry

Everything burns right now. Obviously we're very disappointed. You can't let regret rob you of the next day. We'll let this burn a little bit tonight, but come back tomorrow.

Tim Simon

Tonight wasn't his night. He met his match.

Greg Stevens

She was focused tonight. We went to the hole strong and was not afraid.

Pamela N. Holloway

(Richardson) stepped up tonight and I can't put into words what she does. If every team had a kid like that, they would be much better and if it wasn't for Andrea Richardson we wouldn't be 23-4.

Jeff Tadtman

Tonight we didn't get the big hit and we had too many errors. We have to execute at the plate and on the field. I know we can. They were playing not to lose instead of playing to win.

Amanda Bussell

Some people will say it doesn't matter, but I think it was a pretty important win just because of losing those four in the playoffs and going 0-6 here this year, ... We need to mentally know that we can come here and beat these guys. I think we do know that. We just have to come out and do it. The fact that we did it tonight will help us mentally.

Brad Lidge

Players make plays and that was a big play. We really wanted to win this game tonight.

Lavonda Wagner

Sky Hicks was the man for them tonight. He was moving forward the whole game. The kickoff return hurt us. We planned on kicking it near the sideline to pin them in, but he found a seam.

Mike Hooks

That was tough because I thought the keeper had the ball. We played well. Sometimes you wonder if they will come to play tonight or are they already defeated. We showed we could play tonight.

Vicky King

She had much more control tonight. She set some goals and met them. She pitched extremely well.

Debbie Holcombe

We swam OK tonight. You could tell that we were still a little tired.

Tim Powers

It says a lot about the character of this team. We're not often down, and we had an opportunity to be down tonight. And we think we responded well.

Brad Folta

Chad does a lot of the little things out there that we need done. He goes and gets the ball, whether it's coming up with a steal or getting a rebound against bigger players. He had a huge game for us tonight.

Vic Ortiz

We all love Cory. He's our garbage man. Tonight he was just doing what he does for us all the time. The guy never stops.

Kyle Coston

We played all man-to-man tonight and they had 11, so it's a bit of a guessing game right now.

Mike Dement

(Parkview) is a very scrappy team and they get out and guard you. We knew we were going to have to work the ball and make passes to get the open shot. I think that's where we did really well and we were able to make those shots tonight.

Jeni Hopkins

You can't be selfish. Right now is a serious situation for us. The Braves lost tonight, and the Wild Card is still in our favor. If the same situation comes up again, I won't be happy, but I'll do what I've got to do ... This game is more about your team and not about yourself.

Brett Myers

I think what happened there was the kids came out fired up. That set the tone right there. They had a really, really bad game last week and they really made up for it tonight. We had a great week of practice. When you play with emotion and intensity, that's what happens.

Terry Gough

We've got six seniors who've been together for a long time, and this is something we've talked about since we were little. We knew there was no way we were going to lose tonight.

Seth Tamme

I think we were a lot sharper in the second half. We came out flat in the beginning. At halftime we knew we had to get physical. Barrow played a game tonight.

Wayne Grant

We aren't that good of a free throw shooting team. We hit a lot of big ones at the end of the game tonight. (Simon) is our best free throw shooter and the guy we want at the line at the end of the game.

Scott Pischea

John Kerry and I made a promise to the US people that in this election every vote would count and every vote would be counted. Tonight we are keeping our word and we will fight for every vote.

John Edwards

I am satisfied with the win. We could have scored more goals but I am really happy with my team performance tonight.

Hristo Stoichkov

He's been a little under the weather, and he hasn't wrestled his best in the last few matches. We expect him to wrestle better than what he showed tonight. He's got to step it up now and finish strong.

Scott Harmon

The game got physical, and we had too many turnovers. But all year, our girls fought hard, and they did tonight until the very end. I was very proud of them.

Jeff Henry

We did not take care of the ball tonight.

Dale Scott

When you get that happy it turns to liquid and it comes out your eyes and you could see a lot of that tonight.

Richard Risbrudt

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

It is like I said earlier this week, they want to win the kicking game, play sound defense and play field position with you. We made some mistakes tonight and they capitalized on it.

Kevin Meyer

Our team knew that they couldn't take this meet for granted. Every wrestler on our team brought great intensity out on the mat tonight.

Darrin Cummings

They made us change. That made it sort of funny, but I thought we came out with some good intensity tonight. Our guys did a good job of holding on and getting the win.

Rick Scruggs

Nick Diana had a little tweak in his shoulder [which] bothered him against Southern, and he went 0-7 from the field. But he got more rest and came out and performed [tonight].

Del Ruiter

It was important for us to look good early. I thought we could throw the football against [Martinsville's] coverage. We dropped a few balls tonight and I think that was focus.

Troy Johnson

This would have been very disappointing for us to lose tonight so we couldn't be more pleased. We've got a good group of kids that really work hard. They're good students, we had a 3.4 overall grade point average and so I'm very happy for them.

Mark Christenson

We have a small lineup and we live and die by the 3. We weren't able to hit enough of them tonight.

Casey Higgins

When teams bang him around like they did tonight, it's surprising. But everyone's allowed a speed bump every once in a while.

Bob Brenly

Coach (Paul) Hatcher said the streak had to end sometime. I just wish it wasn't tonight. But everything happens for a reason, just like we won 85 games in a row for a reason.

Hosea Berkley

I don't think we played our best game tonight. The effort was there but obviously guys can't play brilliant every week. However, we're always playing for three points. The guys push each other for that - they're a proud group.

Dominic Kinnear

We're going to have a good week of practice and get ourselves ready. If you can come out of a loss with more confidence, we should be able to do that after tonight.

Mike Drews

We wanted to send our seniors out with something to remember. If we win two times tonight, we would've broken the school record for wins, but it didn't happen.

Mike Humphrey

We battled back against one of the better teams in the state. Tonight proved we can play against anyone. This is a good momentum builder for us for the regional.

Brodie Flaherty

We have added a lot of difficulty over the past couple of weeks, and I have no regrets about anything we have added. As a team we seemed to have all of those things come together tonight.

Tracy Konopacky

We got some clutch hitting tonight. That's something, we haven't been doing.

Judy Smith

I don't think we lost this game because McLeish wasn't here because they were without Williams as well. Twenty-two assists is great evidence of who they were tonight.

Jeff Neubauer

He's missed a lot of time, but he's comfortable. He did a nice job tonight.

Tom Billeter

We owe Millersville for taking the championship away from us last year. They'll match our athleticism and speed. Hopefully, we'll play prettier than we did tonight.

Darcie Vincent

We did a team activity tonight before the game. We did the trust walk thing and we talked about it — What does this mean? It means you've got to trust your teammates. You've got to believe in each other, talk and communicate.

Cindy Williams

Our senior leadership really stepped up tonight. Being mathematically out of the playoffs, I was proud how the girls were still competing all the way to the end. That's all we can ask of them.

Pete Mortlock

It was a collective team effort tonight, and our kids did the little things right to win this one.

Jeff Larson

A great win for our kids and our program. Our seniors had never beaten Concord as a group. Our secondary has been suspect all year, but played well tonight.

John Barron

We wanted to run (tonight), that is our style, but clearly that is their game as well. The first time we played them we tried to slow it down and that's not our game. I told our girls that I'd rather risk being great with the risk of losing than playing it safe. I'm very proud of the effort. They got a lot of second shots and they beat us on the boards on both ends.

John Leighton

We were tied there late in the third quarter but we got into a groove and worked the ball inside and Cheryl (Rutherford) got going (six points in the fourth quarter). Our bench gave us a big lift tonight, especially Emily Brant. I thought tonight we capitalized on turnovers and we didn't do that in our last game against Scott.

Jerry Ormes

My points in this game came throughout the game. Usually I have big spurts in quarters either in the first or the second, but tonight it just seemed like my points were spread out through the whole game. We're finally starting to come together and play team defense and start to execute on our offense a lot better.

Smush Parker

Defensively, our back four were great tonight. Sarah (Burns) was absolutely outstanding. And what else can you say about Gillian Williams? Two goals in seven games now. She's played outstanding.

Doug Green

The kids came out and were ready to play. That's one thing you can say. The kids made plays tonight.

Chris Kapilovic

We knew we had to play as hard as we could, and tonight was a big night.

Tamara Weatherby

Any time you advance in the tournament, you have to feel good about that. You just want to get that first one out of the way. The good thing now is we played tonight and we have four days of preparation to get ready for that next game. That's to our advantage, I think.

Barry Borchers

He went over on his ankle quite badly but, nevertheless, we were quite happy to put the young goalkeeper in and I thought he acquitted himself well tonight.

David Moyes

The Tonight Show With Jay Leno.

Angie Harmon

They were out of their minds tonight. They were clicking on all cylinders. They have the eighth and ninth guys coming off the bench and making 3s like it's a normal thing, which its not.

Dick Diener

You never know. Things weren't falling our way tonight, but they might Monday.

Karen Stephens

Dallas didn't have his best stuff tonight. But we know that if we just stick with it, we're going to put some runs on the board and we're going to end up winning this game.

Cole Gillespie

They showed they belong in the final game, as well. That's an excellent team that we beat tonight.

Tony Turina

I hope we can find our jump shot. It seems like we lost it tonight.

Larry Kruse

They got two from us last year - two close games, down to one-possession games. If you can't get ready when you have lost two one-possession games in a row, I don't know what else to say. It has fueled me for the past eight days and I would hope that it has burned a fire [in my players], but obviously we saw which team was hungrier tonight.

Beth Dunkenberger

There was no pressure tonight against the European champions, we had nothing to lose.

Michael Hughes

She just had that confidence that when she caught it, she was going to knock it in. Tonight, she had that hot hand, and it pretty much carried us through the second half.

Barbara Turner

We showed so much character this tournament, and it'll help even more later in the season. Rallying back Friday night (for a 49-48 victory over Booker T. Washington) and then coming back like this tonight will help us in the district.

Craig Brehon

We worked awful hard the last five weeks and the effort paid off tonight.

Garry Mcpeek

I was actually shocked when I looked up and saw we were up by double digits, and 15, and then it was 20. The kids did a great job in the fourth quarter finishing on the foul line. I told them I would take a heart attack otherwise so they were kind to me tonight.

Tina Gaughan

(Elliott) demonstrated tonight how he got those numbers early in the season. It was nice to see that for him.

Mike Eaves

When we defend well and create opportunities on offense, that's really our recipe for success. Once again we had great activity and pressure on the ball. We matured a little bit tonight, we had a greater sense of gamesmanship and clock management toward the end. We saw some good things from the whole team.

Patrick Baker

It's really been a roller-coaster ride this week. After an exciting win over Brevard last Saturday, and then to drop an important conference game to Robbinsville on Tuesday, it was really important to come out and play well tonight.

Mick Galloway

We played a pretty sloppy ball game tonight. Fortunately, we had the desire to not give up and held on for the win.

Mick Galloway

We're going to need more balance to win on Friday. But (Sweat) played real well tonight.

Chris Strathman

We got a lot of hits tonight.

Rick Hearn

Trey played off the radar tonight. We've been waiting for a game like that from him. We knew we had it in him. He's proving to the world he's a pretty good basketball player.

Tevester Anderson

We got some girls in foul trouble and they had to sit down. We needed the whole bench tonight. It was nice to see everyone step up and contribute.

Josh Tarrell

We got back on track tonight. We need two good days of practice and I think we'll be ready.

Russell Henley

The first time we played them, he stayed outside. Tonight he went inside. My biggest kid is 6-2 and a half and we're stretching for the half inch. We just couldn't stop him. The first time he fell into what we wanted him to do. Tonight, he started going inside on us.

Patrick Fox

We just have to find the net. We didn't do that tonight and Eugene skated very well.

Mike Butters

I can't explain it - I really can't. We just shot really well tonight, and this is something we have to do more often. I think we've been slacking off in shooting.

Steve Barnes

We didn't give up the big plays tonight. If you can limit the big plays you give yourself opportunities. Make people earn things and make them go 60, 70, 80 yards.

Bob Mitchell

The best players need to step up and they did tonight. Patrick White can see the rink, he's got great hands, great size and strength. It was great to finally see a young man fulfill his dream of playing in the state tournament. It was by far his best game.

Bruce Laroque

We played really well tonight. My team is playing better. We've been missing players. Tonight everything clicked pretty well.

Sue Parke

Everyone stepped up tonight and I was just trying to get the puck to the forwards like usual and they put it in.

Brent Cardali

This form goes through stages when it progresses very dramatically, then it levels off, or a 'plateau. He could drop off that plateau tonight. That's the real threat that the disease poses.

Brad Christie

Tonight we had a penalty on a kickoff and they decided to have us kick it over again.

Chuck Evans

We're getting our first shots and the goalie was making the save and the second shot was sitting right there for us. I thought we played well. It just didn't go in for us tonight.

Jason Blake

I think we've really improved tremendously. We feel like the past couple of games we've really gotten after it, and I thought we did a lot of good things tonight. I'm really proud of them.

Dave Greenberg

We're a focused and disciplined team. They come out to take care of business, and I think that's what they did tonight.

Jose Dacosta

We?re here tonight thinking about Cindy Sheehan and how she needs support. Perhaps the president can come out at some point and explain to her how come her son died.

John Shanley

We've only got two seniors. We've been preaching composure to them, and I think they grew up tonight.

Seth Gilmer

They always have a good team and always have a good program. Our goal is to (play defensively) like we did tonight, have fun and play hard.

Tristan Welch

I wanted to be as balanced as possible on offense tonight. But we weren't clicking on the pass, and we were able to run the ball.

Tim Rimpfel

Give them credit, they came out and played a solid game, but I don't think we came with the drive needed, especially in a big game like tonight.

Scott Hannan

I thought the guys played a pretty good basketball game tonight. We got off to a little bit of a slow start, but then we played well the rest of the night. We did a lot of things well in the game.

Tim Reuter

Obviously as a point guard, I want to get my teammates the ball first. But I can still score, and I had a lot of opportunities last night and tonight to do that.

Shay Doron

It's a tough place to pitch - especially tonight, the wind was blowing out to right-center. They have some big lefties in their lineup. It's almost like you know you will give up home runs here. You want to make them solo, not let a three-run homer beat you.

Joe Blanton

We needed to figure it out earlier in the season. We thought we had a shot (at an upset) tonight, but in the second half we got away from the game plan.

Antonio Veloso

Lately we have had a lot of bad things happening with broken motors, flat tires and things like that. Tonight we didn't have anything bad happen to us. We were decent in the beginning and then got to running single file. We were happy to finish in the top five and hopefully this will get us going in the right direction for next week and we can carry some momentum into Knoxville.

Donny Schatz

Dany was Dany tonight. He was flying. He had the one-timer going. I was just a spectator tonight.

Jason Spezza

The good thing is the monkey is off our back. This is our fourth road game of the season. Playing two tough opponents the last two weeks helped us tonight. Our guys were disciplined and played throughout.

Issac Marsh

You couldn't blame Mark for the seven goals he gave up (against Columbus) because his team hung him out to dry. He's done a great job since he came back, and that's why he's getting the start against Knoxville (tonight).

Chris Duggan

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

We can play better than that, that's the bad thing. We were good tonight. On a great night, they don't get over 40. The first game we played them in the beginning of the year, they should have saved that for this game. This was a blowout. I hate games like this.

Dejuan Blair

It's been weird. You're used to seeing 10,000 people or 17,000 people every night, but we know our fans still support us. We've just got to win (tonight) to maybe see a lot of our fans in Bridgeport.

Kalana Greene

Logan is throwing the ball very well. In two outings he's given up 4 or 5 hits with 17 strikeouts. When you throw a lot of strikes it's easier to play rhythm baseball. We didn't have any errors tonight and that's something very big to build on.

Andy Hallett

The atmosphere tonight was totally different. If I told you it wasn't, I'd be lying. But it wasn't the Eagles, it wasn't Atlanta — it was us. We were in too many close games all year long. I don't point the finger at anybody but the Dallas Cowboys.

Keith Davis

Hope is a solid defense person. She's got a very long reach that messes up a lot of forwards that are coming down. She played well tonight. Everyone played well on defense.

Chris Turley

We played sloppy in the second half and you can't do that against a team like Highland. If you do that then they are going to beat you by 30 and that's what they did tonight.

Byron Young

We didn't play as we normally do tonight. (The Panthers) played an all-around good game tonight. They are a really hard team to defend.

Chris Brady

I was proud of the way we met physicality with physicality tonight. Karl Hollingsworth was fantastic and needs to play like that every time. Lipscomb is playing extremely well right now and we were just a couple of plays away from winning this game.

Derek Waugh

They did take advantage of Bell tonight [by] getting it in there to her. They're the No. 1 team in the conference and they showed why.

Kevin Froud

You've really risen to the occasion. That's the only mission you had tonight and you did it.

Farley Flex

I really feel we can beat them and probably should have tonight.

Scott Fisher

That was huge. Richard had a little bit of his swagger back tonight.

Rick Stansbury

There was unbelievable pitching by all four guys. I like to be involved in these types of games. I can't say enough about the baseball and the pitching. At some point somebody has to break in a game like this and unfortunately it was us tonight.

Terry Piazza

We stopped being aggressive in the fourth quarter and got careless with the ball. But I'm super proud of what the kids did tonight. They gave it everything they had.

Bill Specht

You would think that a game this important ... everybody stood around and watched tonight. We came out and didn't have any intensity whatsoever.

Brandon Williams

We look to our starters to set the tone for the game and then when we come in we have to work to keep up the pace and leave everything we have on the floor especially in game like tonight.

Charise Bain

I was just changing speed and just keeping them off balance by hitting my spots well tonight.

Mark Mcgill

It reminded me a lot of Game 1. They got out to an eight-, 10-point lead, and then we fought back. Game 1, we just couldn't get over the hump. ... (Tonight) everyone was just really determined.

Sheryl Swoopes

The last couple of days, we've been working on being more active on defense. The girls were like, 'OK, let's roll.' So I was very pleased with what I saw out there tonight.

Michael Gardner

We have a great defending team. I've said it before, your defense is part of your goalkeeper stats. I think the guys have done fantastic in front. Tonight, all five guys came up, played great, and limited their opportunities.

Pat Onstad

We had some nice things happen tonight, but we've got to take care of the ball.

Pat O'brien

I think that might be the best we can play. We moved the puck and limited them to three shots. We didn't give them any time to move. Our speed was just incredible tonight. Every man went out there with a mission. There was nobody standing around, nobody. It was the best game our defense has played in probably six or seven games.

Dave Morse

There really is no precedent for this kind of destruction, so every possible solution is a new solution, ... Lou Dobbs Tonight.

Jeffrey Toobin

I like to bring Kristen off the bench because she is just instant offense. But if you had to pick an MVP tonight, it would be Kristen.

Dan Trease

Good teams make their free throws and that's what (Kinston) did tonight.

Mike Connelly

We need his fire tonight.

Joe Hamilton

They were a little better team than we were tonight. We'll have to learn from this and continue to grow as a team.

Rene Lafreniere

Their post players were playing at a level above ours. We've been playing without a true post presence, and tonight we finally got exposed.

Bob Samson

While the score may not reflect it, I was proud of the way our guys plays tonight.

Carlos Herrera

Tonight with a couple breaks, it would have been a lot different for ourselves. The nature of this team is that they don't quit. They didn't quit tonight, even when things were against us.
