We were gonna wait for [The University of Indiana game on Sept. 11], ... But we just pushed it up because he worked extremely hard over the summer. We really thought he wasn't going to be ready until after Indiana.

I think once we get the team on the field, we're better than last year. We're stronger and more balanced.

Obviously we've been having some trouble scoring goals lately. We're telling the guys they've just got to be patient. We're getting good chances, the goals will come.

He had a compression fracture, and so it basically kills the end of the femur, ... So what you have to do is try to get the blood circulation back to that area.

We had our chances in the beginning, we didn't put them in. It was poor marking on us on the corner kick, and they took advantage of it.

I would say he's pretty close to 100 percent.

We didn't want to play for a tie. We felt a tie would have been just as disappointing as a loss. So we said 'go for it' and put three up top and three in the back.

I felt bad for Zach because we left him so exposed. There were a lot of goals off rebounds and I think that on at least four of the goals, he made the initial save.

You hope that every game is not close, but in this game it doesn't happen that way. The disappointing thing is when we give up two restart goals.
