Adam Pascal Last Quotations

Paul came on strong late last season after going through some injuries early on. I can't think of many shooters that are better than Paul on our schedule.

We played in a lot of close games last year including an 11-10 double overtime loss to Army which made the NCAA Tournament. So we will start winning some of those close games. We have good kids that keep working hard and want to do their best.

I've always really been into science, and in the last five years I've gotten into theoretical physics and the origins of the universe.

They have really committed both mentally and physically to what we are trying to do here. They also realize that this is their last chance. They have done nothing but impress the coaching staff.

The key for us is to not back down. We have to realize that until the game is over we have a chance to win. Early in the season last year, we would get down by three or four goals and we would let it get to five or six. But at the end of the year we had two one-goal overtime games. It just takes an atmosphere of competing and knowing that you always have a chance.

Their leadership will be critical this year with having graduated such a big class last year. We brought in 11 rookies, so these kids will have to figure out how to play college lacrosse and learn what is expected of them as a college athlete. The seniors are tremendously important to us having success.
