Dave Cottle Quotations

We haven't practiced well since the Duke game, and unfortunately, maybe we needed a loss to recognize that. We didn't handle success as well as we would have liked.

They made more good plays than we did in the second half. But you've got to find ways to win, even when you're not playing well.

For us, it's not so much who scores but how we get them. They're almost starting to look better. At times it was a struggle today, but it was one of those games that was going to be kind of difficult. I felt we ran well and played a lot of guys and I was happy.

It's quite the X-factor when your goalie robs the other team.

Last year was a battle and we expect a battle this year. We're going to have to play well to win, that's for sure.

Last year we were 5-5 at this spot. We didn't want to be there again. We talked all week that all of our goals are still in front of us. We're headed in the right direction but still have a lot of work to do.

We thought Towson was in a good spot coming into this game. They were coming off a loss, so we knew we would be in for a battle. At times today, they played better than us.

We're trying to figure out who the best goalie is. The best goalie in practice this week will be the starter.

He plays the game the way it should be played and he respects the game. He's tough and he's dependable. You can count on Travis Holmes every game. Whether it be defense or effort or whatever, those kind of kids are hard to come by. When you get a few of them, you are really appreciative.

We've been playing from behind the last couple of games and playing with such a frenzy trying to catch up. To get a lead really settled us down some. We only had three turnovers in the first half. We were efficient and Joe shot the ball well.
