Dave Sarachan Last Quotations

We didn't feel good about giving up three goals last week. This week, we made a pretty strong attempt to do a better job as an overall group of being better collectively on a defensive end.

Coming into this building is never an easy task and given the fact that L.A. last week didn't come away with points we knew we had to be ready to play against a team that might show some urgency. They get the goal off a restart but our guys didn't drop their heads. They came back and we equalized. I think it was fair that we got a point off of this game.

As you get down to the last six or seven games, the points are very important. We knew it would be a real dogfight, a battle, with a team like Columbus coming at us. Getting the first goal was very important for us.

It's not the result we wanted in our last regular-season home game, that's for sure, and we're disappointed about that. It's disappointing, but that's all I can say. We just move on from here.

I want to thank Samuel Caballero for his professionalism and his time with the club in 2005. He was a great influence on our young defenders last season and I wish him much success with his new opportunity.
