best both came captains close felt interest jon leadership matt results serve since
We haven't had two captains since the 1984 season. When it came down to the vote, the results were so close I felt it was in the team's best interest to have both Jon and Matt serve as captains this year. I'm very comfortable with having the two of them in the leadership role.
game matt mistakes played solid
We made mistakes, but fortunately it's been well advertised that we have Matt Russell. I thought we played a solid game defensively.
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.
army army-and-navy behind close coming found impressed mental shows win
I'm impressed that Army has found a way to win close games, often coming from behind to do so. That shows mental toughness.
army army-and-navy fine pace push wants
If Army wants to push the ball, we'll push back. If the pace slows and there's a lot of six-on-six, we're fine with that, too.
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.
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.
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.
beat felt impressive ohio pulling state team
It was a very hard-fought game. I felt comfortable, but I never felt we were pulling away. It's pretty impressive to beat a team like Ohio State 9-3.
breaks either game gigantic gone gotten needed team though win
It was a real fight. This was a game that either team could have won. This is a gigantic win for us. I feel as though we've gotten no breaks this season, things haven't gone our way. We needed this one.
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.
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.
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.
