When we went in there, they really started blitzing everybody. They saw Morelli as an inexperienced, second-string quarterback and they brought the house against us. But as a whole, I thought we picked it up well. We had a couple, little miscues, but nothing that can't be corrected.

Harri Holkeri

I have a lot of respect for them.

We've asked Matt to do some new things to help us get a couple more athletic bodies into the lineup,and he's more than held his own in left field.

Ron Polk

We're going to play the game somewhere. I'll let the athletic directors handle that. I ain't gonna tell you Smith-Wills is a better ballpark than the new one, but it's been good to us over the years.

When I was in the IHL there were a few teams that used to do that. Some goaltenders just have a knack for breakaways and it can give your team a little bit of a boost. You have to know your personnel before you can make those changes and obviously Craig thinks Morrison is the guy on breakaways.

We're going to go as he goes. When he does what he can do, he's one of the best point guards in the area. When he tries too hard, he's one of the worst.

Jake Krause

We guarded them a little harder in the second half. They made some bad passes and took some tough shots and that's where we were able to get some separation.

Mark Turgeon

We guarded out tails off all day. We got every stop we needed until the very end.

But the one thing I did feel confident about was: No one will ever be able to do this again. Because no one would be stupid enough to try.

Jim Crumlish

When we were losing, going into practice every day was tough. You go in every day to practice knowing that it will be brutal. And when you are losing, it's that much worse. You don't get to see the benefits of all your hard work, as you do when you're winning.

Jermaine Spencer

When we went in the locker room, we said we weren't pushing. We weren't getting as hard after them as we should. In the second half, we brought the fight to them. Instead of backing down and letting them do what they want to do, we made them step up and play -- play defense and make tougher shots.

Sam Taylor-Johnson

When I was out in Georgia doing photographs, I found myself trying to undo my own sense of composition. I'd think, 'Why do I want to take it like this? Is it because I want to take a beautiful picture?' It's quite hard to try and undo it.

Chelsea Peretti

When I was little, people would ask what my favorite color was, and I never knew. I find it's really hard to make decisive 'best' answers on what the 'best' of something is.

When we found out you could register extended names, it became apparent to us that there were a lot of missed opportunities,

Bob Romeo

We've averaging 61 points per game, but the thing that makes me the proudest about this team is its defense. We've held teams to an average of 31 points per game. A lot of players get to play (as a result of big leads), and that means the kids on the bench are doing a good job defensively as well.

Terry Lickona

We've always known there was a reason to keep all these original masters. We've never erased a single tape from any show we've ever done. We've just about run out of space to store these tapes, but they've turned out be gems. We're proud of these old shows and we think they deserve to be seen by new generations of fans and people that have been fans all along.

Luis Suarez

When I was a kid, I got sent off for head-butting a referee: I ran 50m to argue a decision, I was shown a red card, and I head-butted him. I'm really not proud of that.

Travis Paquet

We're starting to come together. We played as a team, and I was very proud of them tonight.

Dave Sarachan

We respected Rochester from the opening whistle, and they were a tough team tonight. We knew that it could go that far and I was proud of my team after conceding a goal for hanging in there. We were a little bit whipped, but we just wanted to keep our composure during the overtime and make sure we didn't give up a second goal. I'm proud of my team and pleased to be advancing.

Dan Rooney

We're so proud to bring it back to Pittsburgh.

Tim Ruskell

We're so proud of what he's done. He really unified this group and became the quarterback of this group and the leader of this defense in a short period of time. My hat's off to him.

Ruth Coleman

We're so proud of the uncompromising nature of this rehabilitation.

John Gagliano

We're so proud of him. He's been a great leader and a great example for the other kids to follow. It's great for the program.

Ed Huydic

When we win and look good winning, it's because we've got some transition and we're knocking some perimeter shots down. We did not have the kind of transition night I wanted but we did stick some shots from the perimeter when we had to.

Chris Schwartz

When we were down early, I wasn't worried about it because I knew we were trying. It was just a matter of our shots going in. Then, when they started going in, (the Rough Riders) couldn't stop us.

Luol Deng

When we went up, we couldn't stay up. We started making silly mistakes and let them back in the game. We struggled making shots in the fourth quarter and when they got the lead, they didn't look back.

Lorenzo Williams

When we went to the media timeout with eight minutes to go, I just told everybody that we're down right now, but we have a run in us. Eventually, shots started to fall, we started to get stops, and we found ourselves back in the game.

When it came down to it, we executed our offense. We got good shots from basically everybody.

Dick Davey

We're making shots and that's something that we haven't been able to do this year.

Brian Brandtner

We're starting to figure out our groove a little bit better on offense -- what we're looking to give, what we're looking to do. When you get the shots you want, a lot more times than not you're going to score.

Scott Skiles

We responded particularly well tonight. When things didn't go our way, we didn't go into one of our tremendously long droughts and hang our heads and look defeated. We did the reverse. We picked it up on defense and blocked some shots and got out in the open floor.

Brian Butch

We're so uptight half the darn time. And you can't blame us. We're playing at a level where we had three big games against three great teams and we needed to play hard. We played hard; we didn't make shots. The shots will come. We can't stress here and think we're not going to make any more shots for the rest of our lives.

Katie Montgomery

We've barely had enough to go five-on-five, but we're ready to be aggressive and do whatever it takes to win. We've beaten tough teams this season. We know how to double-team and help each other out. We just have to be focused and work hard.

Bob Romeo

We've averaging 61 points per game, but the thing that makes me the proudest about this team is its defense. We've held teams to an average of 31 points per game. A lot of players get to play (as a result of big leads), and that means the kids on the bench are doing a good job defensively as well.

Mike Turner

We've always tried to play all of the good teams. If we're going to be one of the good teams we've got to play the good teams.

Jim Fleming

We've always let our guys like Miguel play toward the end, but not the whole season. They all want to play for their hometown teams down there. So we oblige within reason.

Josh Sims

We've always known that we can play with some of the best teams in the league and score.

Tim Graham

We've always kind of made an agreement that our sub-varsity teams wouldn't leave the area. We might go to Shelton or Elma with our C-team, but we won't go to Tacoma.

We've always gotten off to good starts. We've always beaten the teams that we were supposed to beat. Now, we need to get that big-time victory. That's what we're still waiting for.

Katie McMahon

We've always competed against D-I teams in our division. Now we're playing big name East Coast schools and we're getting more recognition. However, the team is not eligible for the playoffs for another two years.
