We're obviously disappointed with the outcome, but we just did not do the things down the stretch to win the game. We just need to learn from this, but we also need to move on.

This was a good effort both offensively and defensively. Ohio was very patient, and we were able to be disciplined and maintain our poise.

I thought we came out with great intensity and were very smart with the ball. They then frustrated us a bit with their defense and got on a little bit of a roll and made it tough to come back. They are a great team, but I thought we really fought hard and competed.

Late in the first half, this was a one-goal game, but we really dug down and showed the toughness that we've been talking about. We maximized our chances on offense, controlled the ball well, and defensively I thought we made things very difficult for them.

Our players are ready. We're well conditioned. We've been waiting a long time to have this chance.

We came out with good intensity, but could not seem to get goals out of good possessions. Our defense did a great job of frustrating them, and then when we were able to get our offense on track things started going our way.

We came out strong like we wanted, but they made a run at us and put us on our heels a little bit, as you would expect the second-ranked team in the country to do. I am really proud of the way our girls fought the entire way. We knew this was going to be a tough task, but the team responded well.

This was a very good win for us. We built a nice lead, and we were able to hold it. We still have some things we need to work on, but this was a step in the right direction. Richmond is a good team and they really fought hard, so give them credit.

This was another hard fought victory for us. We know we have to get better, because we know that Boston College will get better next week, too.

We knew how tough Boston College was because of just having played them, so we really played with good intensity. We came out from the start and didn't worry so much about them, but to try and play the best game we could.

We just need to play tougher. We need to take better care of the ball and hustle to make plays. We'll move on from this game and work on improving.

It was disappointing on our part. Uncharacteristically, we turned the ball over in critical situations. We just have to move on and figure it out.

It was just one of those nights. We played really hard all the way to the final whistle, but some things just didn't go our way. I'm obviously disappointed with the loss, but I am proud of the character and effort we showed.

I'm proud of the way responded after a tough loss earlier this week. The players really showed focus to get us this kind of win.

I am very proud of the way we played today. We bounced back from a tough loss on Wednesday, and we maintained our composure when they were coming after us in the second half. We know how good of a team they are, so this is a great win for us.
