Score Quotes from:
-
Against Quotes
We started off great, but we couldn't stay consistent. We go through droughts because we're still a young team trying to figure out how to score against tough defense. Even though we were ahead, I didn't like the flow of the game. We were trading baskets with Lehigh and you can't do that. I knew we needed to clamp down.
-
Along Quotes
Where teams score on us is when they score easy baskets. (Wheat is) very talented with the ball in his hands, but we're trying to bring him along in his mind. These kids are all we've got and they're going to keep giving effort and heart. Maybe the learning on the fly will translate into some rapid growth.
-
Bigger Quotes
We're going to see probably one of the hardest (working), most physical teams in the league coming in. They don't score a lot of goals, but they play hard. A lot of times, they don't even want to play the puck, they just want to play the man. It's Calgary, in-your-face, finish-checks hockey. It's going to be a big challenge for us and the bigger the challenge, the bigger we're supposed to respond.

Compete Quotes
We're going to score some runs this year, you can count on that. Timmy is a big key to our club, but we have a really potent offense overall so we'll be quite all right. We've got a good freshman core and the big hitters to drive them home so I like our chances. We are going to compete for one the top spots in our league and before this year is over, they'll know the names of these guys.
-
Although Quotes
What we're hoping to do is win our division. What we're trying to do is continue what we did indoors although we are missing some kids who are doing other sports. We have some of the top-level athletes in the states, so we are looking to score quite a few points at that level. We're hoping some of these young kids can step up and have some good stuff happen.
-
Bad Quotes
When we have lapses defensively, then we start throwing rocks at the rim. It all goes downhill at once. We don't get stops and they score and we come down and shoot up rocks. That's the problem with us. One thing happens to us (defensively) and we turn it over or take a bad shot on the next possession and it all collapses.
-
Catherine Quotes
We graduated only one starter in Catherine Flynn , but she was our leading goal scorer last year. I don't think we have one player that is going to score like Catherine did last year, but as a team, I think we will be able to fill that void by having several players increase their offensive production.
-
Atmosphere Quotes
With No. 81 being out of the lineup, we feel like we need to take it upon ourselves as a defense to get more turnovers and play better so we can get our offense back together and get them used to playing together. Now there's going to be a new person in the lineup, so we need to keep them on the field as much as possible to get them used to playing together in a game atmosphere and give them more chances to score touchdowns.
-
Buying Quotes
We're getting contributions from 10 guys on a regular basis. Scoring is great, but you have to get some rebounds and have guys buying into defensive schemes. So many times guys who score get the press, but the reality is that the last several games have been total team efforts. It's been a lot of fun to watch.
-
Besides Quotes
We're hoping to build on last year. Our goal is to get by the second round of the tournament and to be competitive with some of the big teams in the SCC and get into the SCC tournament. We want to capitalize on our experience. These guys all have a lot of time as varsity players last year. We are working on solidifying our defense. We're hoping we can get a couple of guys besides Matt to score some goals. If we do those things, we should be all right.
-
Challenged Quotes
Through our first seven batters and their first seven batters, the score was the same (0-0), but they (the Lions) were winning the game because they were having better at-bats. After that, I challenged our guys by telling them they had to make better swings on the ball. They made the necessary adjustments, and I'm proud of them for that.
-
Almost Quotes
We knocked down our free throws the fourth quarter and still took it to the basket. We weren't tentative, and that's really a good step for a young team. We know that almost all our scoring has to come from guys who haven't played much. Our seniors are role players, they don't score much.
-
Anyone Quotes
We know what they are capable of doing. They have talent on defense and can score a ton of points on offense. Anyone in the Ohio Valley Conference who can go toe-to-toe with (two-time defending OVC Champion) Jacksonville State makes you stand up and take notice. We know they will be ready to play, and I guarantee that our kids will be prepared as well.
-
Ball Quotes
We've got film on them, and they like to pound the ball. They push the ball and shoot a lot of threes. They're going to score some points. We've got to get back in transition and we're going to have to know where (David) Sontag is. They've got real good inside-outside threats and any team that can present that can be a problem.
-
Amount Quotes
We've tried to push the tempo offensively, and I've seen the girls get more comfortable (with the strategy). Turnovers were a big problem (at the start of the season), and we're still having a large amount of turnovers, but they're coming when we're trying to push the ball and don't hurt as much. They're learning how to push the ball and score in transition.

Ball Quotes
We want to score more points, ... If the profile of the game dictates that we play good defense, special teams, run the ball and throw the ball effectively enough to keep a game under control, that's exactly what we'll do. Yes, we'd like to score more points. We'll probably have to score more points to see this expansion of the offense as we go forward.
