extremely few mistakes played
This has been our pattern. We played extremely well defensively and made just a few mistakes.
army-and-navy great john last sure walker
I'm sure John Walker is going to play great in his last Army-Navy game.
game peaks side valleys winning
It was a game of peaks and valleys and fortunately we were at the winning side at the end.
concentration flattened focus lapse liked longer seen ticked
I'm not going to get ticked off about winning, but I would have liked to have seen us play with more focus and concentration for longer in this game. We had a little concentration lapse and flattened out a bit.
bottom fight handle line
It was like a fight we had on the playground, and we didn't fight back. When you play Georgetown, the bottom line is you've got to handle pressure.
bad conscious effort factor overall played pressure putting tonight
They were putting a lot of pressure on Ian and he made some bad passes, but overall he played about as well as he's played all season. Ian was more of a factor tonight because there was a conscious effort on our part to make him more of a factor.
certain comfort five fourth game gives minutes possession quarter start won
Five minutes into the fourth quarter is when the game was won and lost. With a two-goal lead, if we start the fourth quarter with possession it gives you a certain comfort level.
against good happened kid played short virginia
We kind of thought after what happened against Virginia that (Alford) would be on a short leash. I thought the kid they put in played very well. He made some very good stops.
field games goals middle missing nice plays score strength success thanks today transition
Something I thought was missing from our first two games was our transition game. We were able to score some transition goals today thanks in part to our success in the face-off game. We also made some nice plays in the middle of the field which is a strength for us.
concentration flattened focus liked longer played quarter second
I would have liked to see us play with more focus and concentration longer into this game. We played well in the first quarter and well into the second quarter, and then we just flattened out a little bit.
defense game played positive scores solid team three
When the other team only scores three goals, it's always a positive for the defense. I thought we played a solid game defensively, played with confidence.
momentum quarter second took
There were a lot of fouls in the second quarter and that kind of took our momentum away.
today
There were too many little things that didn't go our way today for us to come up with a win.
boost breaks critical felt gigantic gone gotten hard played tonight
It's a gigantic boost for us. I've kind of felt like we have gotten no breaks this year. Things have not gone our way at times, and some of that is because we have not played well in critical situations. Tonight I thought we played hard and tough.
