Match Quotations | Page 4

Nevada shot well for her first match as a freshman. They were very good scores for the first match and the conditions.

Nebraska is an unbelievable program and a great university. We played our best match of the year against them. I'm just unbelievably happy for them.

Naturally, Wayne and I were miffed. We'd been setting ourselves for this match for weeks,

Obviously, tonight we didn't match up with the Colts in any aspect of the game,

Obviously, this is a very disappointing loss. We felt we had a chance to win this game, but they executed better than we did down the stretch. We battled, we fought, this was a playoff atmosphere. We wish we would have been able to match their intensity down the stretch, but we didn't. They were in the bounce-back mode and they bounced back.

Obviously, it is very comforting to know that David McKee returns, ... Having David back gives us a real solid base to build our team around. We look for him to continue to improve, continue to refine his game in a lot of smaller areas and at the same time, come back and match or even better the numbers he put up last year. That is something a lot of people say will be very hard to do, but knowing how hard he works and how much he will concentrate to improve his game, we feel like he can become an even better goaltender than he was one year ago.

Obviously, there are always service jobs, however, those are not always self-sustaining wages. And, for our organization, our goal is to match job seekers with appropriate self-sustaining employment.

Obviously, I've been working hard back home and putting a lot of time on the court and in the gym, but when you step out on the match court it is the next level,

Obviously match fitness is something else but that's a problem we have had since this season started. We would expect to start with him.

Obviously, Ferrero's one of the best players in the world, ... My chances wouldn't have been so good against him. But Clement has been struggling a little bit. It's probably an easier match than it would have been against Ferrero.

Obviously delighted. We were behind 1-0 and we knew it was going to be a difficult match and credit to the boys - we fought hard and I think we deserved to win today.

Obviously Chris needs games to get his match fitness level back to scratch.

No bowler is ever 'cleared' as they could simply revert to bad habits. All bowlers are subject to further reporting if the match officials ... have concerns about whether a delivery or deliveries conform to the laws of cricket.

No doubt, much of the joy of a great romance is the moment when these stoic heroes crack open and reveal themselves to their heroines - the only women strong enough to match them.

Right now I'm struggling. Pretty beat up. This match was rough, ... He made a lot of balls. We were both running each other side to side. Other two five set matches definitely didn't help this match out...definitely wasn't looking for another five-set match today. It takes its toll on the body. Luckily, I have two days off to get ready for Saturday's match.

Right before my first match (assistant coach John) Cooley told me he felt everyone else looked dead, so he told me to go out there and set the pace. So I tried to keep everything out of mind and went out there to wrestle my match.

People usually think of pet adoptions involving children and puppies. This program lets us match older, well-trained, housebroken pets with seniors. We have many wonderful, wonderful older pets looking for a home.

Phil really went out there and took care of business. This was his last match and he was our first recruit. I'm happy that Phil did what he was supposed to do.

Philly has been dominating things in the division. You aren't going to go anywhere until you can match up with them.

Philly has been dominating things in the division, ... You aren't going to go anywhere until you can match up with them.

Perception does not match reality. People don't want to admit they're doing terrible.

My team feels in high spirits and we are going to win our next match against Spain.

My understanding of Nokia's management makes it unlikely that they would want to do this. Nokia has been doing well with organic growth and not doing large acquisitions. On the other hand, Lucent has a lot of assets that might be valuable, and some of those assets might match up well with Nokia. Lucent needs strong management, and Nokia definitely has that.

My understanding from the state of Texas is that although Medicaid funding will be available for the victims, there will be no waiver of the state match of Medicaid funds, which is about 39 percent.

Only four of the current 20-man squad for this last match will be too old for the next campaign, so it has been difficult for them,

One thing that characterizes Harriet is that she is extremely diligent. She's going to be prepared. The temptation will be great for some to try to match wits with her on constitutional issues. There's some danger that senators might demonstrate not her lack of knowledge, but their own.

No. 4 singles was probably the most exciting match of the day.

No. 1, we knew we didn't come out of the dressing room Friday night the way we needed to. We didn't match Mankato's intensity Friday. I thought we did that tonight.

Newspapers have an agenda that does not match people's opinions in many cases, ... They are out of step politically, they are out of step in coverage. People get fed up with that. Newspapers are out of touch with mainstream Americans and now the problems are coming home to roost.

Nearly 30,000 fans turned out to support the tribute match and provide one of the best atmospheres at the ground for ages. I was so happy to be part of it.

Navy is a very physical team that is extremely well-coached. We knew they were going to go at us hard for the full seven minutes. Our guys didn't match their intensity and effort.

On the second set, I felt like I was playing well and hitting the ball well, ... First set, I just don't think either of us played all that well. ... But as the match went on, I felt like I was getting much better rhythm and on top of the balls and being a little bit more consistent with my shot.

On offense, we'll score a lot of points. We'll make our opponents respect our quarterback's learning ability, and make them guard sideline to sideline. Defensively, we're going to make them hurt. If they want to run, and be stubborn there, we're going to match up with them.

On the defensive end we really have to pick it up. Waverly is pretty big and we had to match up with their size. I believe Meredith did a good job of playing Rachel Sheppard despite being a couple of inches shorter. It was a good team effort defensively.

On the (clock's) computer it counts down to 100s of a second, which doesn't show on the clock. So you won't get that buzzer until that computer hits 0:00. That's why there is a delay. We did discuss it before the match that we would go with the buzzer and not the time on the clock.

On the last match day in Europe France snatched a place in our World Cup.

I was happier winning my first round than winning a tournament, just because it's a satisfaction because you've put so much work into it, ... You realize how quickly it could be gone. That's why you enjoy each match because it can happen again.

I was real proud of the guys because this was South's last game, they were going to be fired up and we had to match their intensity. Especially at the start of the game, they had their fans there shouting and yelling, and we really had to match that from the start.

I was real pleased that we won this match especially since we had to forfeit two matches. This was a great experience for our guys.

I was really proud of the way the girls played, ... They played very well. We were up against a couple of really tough hitters but we defended the ball well. The score may not show it, but it was a very good match to watch. The girls played with their hearts on their sleeves.

I was serving very good. After I get the break in the third set, for sure, I feel more confident. Especially the last game of the match I really feel like I will not miss the opportunity to win because I had a few great serves at the time.

I was struggling in the beginning, ... The start of the match was crucial, and I couldn't get on top of him there. Still, in the end, to turn it around and not play my best is always a good feeling.

I wouldn't say we feel like we're the underdogs. Obviously on paper we look like we are probably not as strong a team. But in match play, it always can turn around so many times, like we've seen in the Ryder Cup.

I would have rather finished the match properly,

I would be kidding myself if I didn't think I wanted to call a few of my ex-players after the match and say, 'Finally, we got them',

I would estimate about 95 to 100 miles per hour. I was able to match his speed for a short period of time to get video.

I would have been happy beforehand with a 1-1, but not looking at the whole match and when we are ahead 1-0 that late.

I would do anything to play that last match (the men's singles final) on that Sunday night at the Australian Open,

I was prepared for a long match today. The less time I had to spend on court, the better. I was trying to make the points shorter and save some energy.

I guess it just wasn't meant to be. I think I wrestled better my second match, but my first match didn't go the way I planned. It's all right.

I guess I'm playing the best tennis I've ever played (but) it's always one match at a time. You can't just jump ahead.

If we don?t match their intensity and how hard they play, it?s going to be very tough to win the game.

If we don't get the Reading fixture out of the way we faced the danger of having to stage another league match within the play-off schedule in October. It was getting too much to take on.

If we had stayed 3-0 down the tie would have been all but over. Instead we're at 3-2 and there's still something to play for, even if the return match in Rome (on Feb. 1) will be a difficult one.

If we're going to need to pay a match of 25 percent on the cost of Katrina at the same time we have to absorb these lost revenues, frankly I don't know what we're going to do.

If we, in fact -- as the president says and I agree -- are in a generational war here against terrorism, it's going to require resources. The mission must match the resources,

I got off to a great start and then maybe I wasn't aggressive enough and let her into the match in the second set. I don't know exactly what happened, I just lost my concentration a bit, but was able to get back on track in the final set.

I got off to a good start and set the tempo. They didn't match up so I established my inside game.

If they don't find a match soon, all three could die. It is just that urgent.

If they're anything like last season, they'll move the puck well. We don't know how we'll match up yet.

If we can keep them all fit and on the pitch then we can be a match for anybody.

If we can find something as small as a finger or a tip of a finger, even, that could allow the police departments to hopefully get a DNA match on somebody. And that's going to allow closure for families.

If they start chanting something, then we'll try to match it with a song,

If things start to go wrong, we shake it off and just look forward to the next play. This made all the difference in our match against Peoria.

If this issue is not resolved well ahead of the match, it is possible that it will take place at the start of the match in a highly charged and volatile environment that will exacerbate risk of injury.

If we can't get a match we contact the voter.

If we committed that cash toward a match for purposes of a grant, then we wouldn't be able to use it for anything else.

I have great respect for what he's done. We've played against each other, and I think it's really cool that we have this chance to match up again. This is the first time we've gone head to head as head coaches.

I have come back before from scores like that. I am happy. I decided to give it one last push to at least make a match of it. I kept pushing and trying to be consistent. I had to keep playing. There was no sense giving up at 5-2, especially in the championship match.

I have been working so hard, and I deserve to be here. I knew I broke her, and I broke her again. I just wanted to stay every ball in the match and give my best and see what I can have out there.

I don't know any different, so I can't say if it's any easier or any harder. ... I was very nervous when I came down. I had never been a head coach. They had lost only one game (in regulation), and they took half the team on me, especially the scoring. I'm thinking to myself 'How am I going to match this (start)?' I'm enjoying it. Winning is helping.

I don't know a lot about them. I know they're a good team. But I think we match up OK. They have quick guards and press you. They beat Lisle and Lisle beat us twice. They beat Wheaton St. Francis (de Sales) by 13 and we beat St. Francis by 18.

I don't know a lot about Ida. I've been told we match up pretty well against them. We're going to have to play very good defense and play as error-free as we can.

I don't have enough good things to say about Paul as a coach or human being. I wish it had been different because he was an ideal match for this institution.

I didn't want to lose this match for anything in the world. I think I was playing the ball at my best.

I don't feel at any point of the match that I really had any rhythm. I don't think I got nearly as many returns in today. ... It was a much more erratic match, where the points were just going fast. I didn't know quite what was going to happen.

I don't even want to think about that, we need to get there (the playoffs) first. Who does match up well with them - Detroit?

I'd like to see them again, we match up with them well.

I did something wrong, I was punished and I paid for it. Now I want to think about something else and not talk about it anymore. During all that time I did what I can't do when I have a match at the weekend - that is to say a lot of physical preparation. I have now played three top level matches which gave me a good indication of my form.

I don't know what it was. We just definitely didn't match their intensity. They had a lot more fire than we did.

I don't care if I win another match for the rest of the year, if we can hold up that Cup, I really don't care. That's probably the one time of the year where you can say that and be that selfless and mean it.

I don?t care if I don?t win another match the rest of the year, if I can hold up that Cup at the end of the year.

I could swear I heard a score recently - 16 September, 2003 to be precise - where the home team won 6-0 and where the aggregate score was six-all. I think it was a League Cup match in Wales. Was I dreaming? And if not, is this the biggest two-leg comeback of them all?

I couldn't serve today, ... I've been struggling with a right pectoral strain since my last tournament, and yesterday after my three set match it seemed to get worse. I tried to fight through it, but in the third set it really started to hurt. Then my serve was just very off.

I came to this match wanting to play well for my country. It's a great start.

I am excited to be a part of such an elite group of athletes. Andre and I had such a memorable match at the U.S. Open, and it will be great to play with him once again in Idaho. This will be fun.

I am delighted with the result and how we played. It is good that we could focus on this match with the Barcelona tie just around the corner.

I am bitterly disappointed not to leave with three points. We dominated the match and created the best chances of the game.

I am looking forward to a good fight. Jill has been a great team leader and for the others, it's a good match to take something for their game in the future.

I am happy to announce that sanity has prevailed and the match is on tomorrow (Tuesday).

I am going into the match thinking we can beat Bayern.

I am feeling good, trying to stay positive. I'm just taking it one match at a time. I'm trying to wrestle smart and not overlook anybody.

I am extremely disappointed to still feel the affects of the final match in Indianapolis. I'd be doing the tournament and myself a disservice to go out there at 50 percent. I'm going to take a few days to recover and prepare for the ATP Masters Series events.

I am just at the point where I am at a loss for words. I tell them probably every year that I coach, I probably can't win every tennis match that I go out and play but I can hope they do it. We were up in every single doubles match, but we couldn't hold on to it.

I believe this is the biggest recognition I'm going to get for the rest of my life in my country. Coming from a country with so many good players and so many coaches and being chosen to do this, nothing will match this.

I believe we match (up) very well because they like to play and allow (opponents) to play. That last game we played them gave us a little bit of confidence, knowing we can come with the point from there. But at the same time, we need to win.

I believe that this cooperation between Nokia and Konami will form the perfect match to share the vast potential of mobile entertainment content with users all around the world.

I broke him one time.  You come out to a match like this and you hope for that at least.  So you never know what to expect playing somebody you never played before.  In his most difficult moments, he was more awkward than I anticipated.

I beat the defending champion from last year and I think that today the conditions were tough for both of us, ... It was our first match on clay so the tennis was not that pretty. But I'm pretty happy with the win because I remember the Davis Cup from last year when it was two sets all and I lost 6-0 in the fifth set, so this one was payback time.
