Kenny Thorne Good Quotations

More than anything, we are trying to focus on ourselves. We've had two tough losses this past week and our guys have got to show what they are made of in this next match. I think it will be good to get on the road, stay in a hotel, have a change of scenery, and the guys are looking forward to it and the match Sunday.

Miami is incredibly improved this year and have already had some great wins. Their coach, Mario Rincon, has done a great job in building that team. It will be our first ACC match of the season and is no doubt a tough one. You always like to set a good tone for ACC conference play so it should be very intense.

We have a very small and young team. This will be a good indicator of who is ready to step into some tough positions we are going to have this year. I think over the first two or three matches, we will find out who is going to step up for us this year.

We have another weekend of matches against really good opponents. Arizona State is a very good Pac Ten team. They have already played a very tough schedule and are no doubt ready. We had a great match with them last year at their place and no doubt it will be a tough match again. We are ready to play so it should be exciting.

Florida State is a very good team this year. They got off to a rough start this season with a key injury in their lineup, but they've just returned to their full roster, and with him in the lineup they are one of the better teams in the ACC.
