We just wanted to do it our own way, put our own stamp on it.

I am pleased with my guys' effort today. We had our chances, and we did a good job of keeping their forwards from doing any damage.

If we ground out a 1-0 game, it's the same as winning 5-0. It's all the same to me.

You know when you go to a wedding and you're dreading who you have to sit with? I always felt like I constantly got stuck at the table with all the singles. And you're just sitting there, trying to make small talk over this enormous (table) centerpiece.

Two guys form Merced, ... it would have been awesome, but just too bad it didn't happen.

After my experience this year of getting to play in the U.S. Open, ... this is a little bit less intimidating.

It was rough, ... I shot 80, 82, but had a lot of great experiences. I would say it was like a baseball player that was playing A-league ball and all of a sudden got called up to the big leagues without playing Double-A and Triple-A ball.

It turns the whole thing on its ear a little bit, ... It's fun, it's goofy. There's definitely a total irreverence to our approach. ... And then there's the pragmatic side of us that said, 'Why in God's name would we spend all this money ... to fill a church for an hour?'

I think we've gotten better every game, ... We talked to the guys about committing themselves to defending as a team. We don't know where our goals are going to come from. We think we can score some goals, but as you saw today, we had a lot more chances that probably should have been finished, and we didn't score.
