David Cope Team Quotations

Both teams had to make critical plays defensively. Obviously, Kelly Labor's a great player, but they have other great players - Ann Barney and some of those kids. We didn't want to end up in a 1-on-1 situation. We always had players sliding across.

Looming on the horizon is Rifle. I think it's unlikely that any of the boys are going to get Andy Banner's (single-season scoring) record this year. But, they have a chance to do something that last year's team didn't do by beating Rifle on the road.

Two 4-2s in a row. That's the score of the week. There was bound to be a slight lull from the Glenwood game. It's hard to generate that kind of energy and emotion twice in 48 hours. Having said that, I think they dealt well with the field and the other team and the crowd and showed some composure.

Right now, it's an anomaly. It will be reviewed and scrutinized over the first few years to see how well it works for both the team and sponsor, and see if we might have a new model and if it works.

It was three long trips, and we came out of it with 20 goals for and three against. You can't argue with that. It was a great team bonding experience. I think we're a better team coming out of it than we were going into it.
