It has been a good year. One of our goals was to win a league championship. These players are very committed and very passionate. They won the first league championship for our young program. This is their moment.
When people leave Minneapolis on Sunday, they'll only remember the team that won. You only remember the team that won it. That's the mission. We're a part of it, and why not go win it?
The toughest thing about the Frozen Four is getting in, and now we've got in, and you might as well go up there and try to win it. This opportunity isn't guaranteed every year. Hopefully we'll be back there consistently over the years to come, but it takes a lot of hard work.
We want to win every game, and Section V.
We needed to play well in the first 10 minutes. If we did that, I knew we'd have a chance to win the game.
It was just an amazing experience. To be able to win against the greatest players in the world, in front of all my family and friends, was just really special. I will never forget it.
Part of our message to the players is putting individual egos aside, and playing for the team. At the end of the day, if you win something, it's because everybody was able to sacrifice.
When that wind comes up, it gets your attention. Club selection becomes very, very important.
The game, and winning the game, was outstanding. But when these kids look back on the experience and the opportunity they had (Saturday) night and the atmosphere that was created, I think they'll remember that for a long, long time.
It started rattling the walls and rattling the windows in our house.
I don't like to lose at all, and I know we're capable of winning every match this weekend. I told the guys before the meet that I was confident we'd win every match. That didn't end up happening, but I'm still happy.
Whenever you win two Big Ten matches on the road, no matter who it is you're up against, you have to feel pretty good.
I'm sure Kyle wants to win every match he goes out, but this was a dual meet loss. When the time comes at the end of the year during big-time matches, he'll be ready.
