continuity fight injury practice trying
We are just trying to fight through some things injury wise. We're just trying to get some continuity in practice.
bother kids
I've been doing this for 39 years, and it doesn't bother me. These kids are 20 years old. They are invincible. They can do anything.
bit typical wednesday
Everything was just a little bit off. It was just your typical Wednesday game.
adjust athlete cage certainly defense drew freshman last styles
Our defense is certainly very different from last year. We couldn't do too many things last year, we had a freshman in the cage who wasn't the kind of athlete that Drew is, so we had to adjust what we did defensively. We can do more things now. We can play some different styles because Drew can make the big save.
ice shots
We should have been able to ice them away when we had them. We had the shots we wanted at the end but couldn't get anything out them.
chances pull tie win
We had all of those chances to pull away, to tie it up and then to win it. When it was 10-10 we had Whitaker with a wide-open shot, and you didn't even need a goalie.
drew freshman good people stays
We have a freshman goalie who people are really going to like. If Drew stays healthy, he's going to be a very good goalie.
continuity fighting fights-and-fighting hoped key
We hoped to key off of that and we try to. But right now we're just fighting through so many things injury-wise and just to have continuity at practice. We're not really where we want to be.
hopefully realize
If we don't come to play, we'll be in trouble. Hopefully we realize that.
coming full nice rust seem sorts strength
We seem to be coming down with all sorts of things. When we're at full strength I think we'll have a very nice team, but the question's going to be, when is that going to be and how long is it going to take to get the rust out?
win
We don't want to just go to the tournament. We want to win the whole thing.
bad pub
It's bad pub for Duke, and it's bad pub for the sport, no question.
guys needed rest week
We know what have to do. We needed this week to rest our guys up.
week
We have no breaks. Every week we have a battle.
