Dana Taylor Quotations

We've added two incredible players here. Joey is very technically gifted and a real leader since he was the captain of Canada's under-17 team. Daniel is a big, strong and extremely technical left-footed defender who has the ability to organize the defense.

Lucas comes with a wealth of experience and will be slotted into a center midfield position. At 22 years of age, it will be great to have the leadership that he brings.

Nick is an explosive player and it will be difficult to keep him off the pitch. He goes forward very well, dribbles well and connects with his teammates.

Chris has the ability to break players down with the dribble or with the pass. He's also a good goal-scorer.

I thought the first half was the worst we've played all year. In the second half, we made some adjustments and our special players made some special plays. We really wore them down in the second half by pressuring more. This team can play with anybody. We just have to bring it all 90 minutes.

Jason is an extremely athletic goalkeeper who has great distribution. He played in a lot of big games last year.

Packy is a calming influence in the goal. He organizes players well. Mike is very promising and brings good athleticism. I really like what we have at goalkeeper.

Robby is fast, very powerful and has a quick shot.

Robbie and Bryan figure to be our two prominent players up front. Robbie is one of the most prolific scorers in school history. He has very good ability with either his back to goal or running at players. Bryan is one of the fastest players we've had. He's extremely explosive and can be a solid goal-scorer for us.

Brett has one of the best engines in the country. He gets up and down the field. Left back will allow Brett the opportunity to utilize his speed coming forward.

Everybody hates to take a loss, but as I told the guys there isn't one team in the country who isn't going to go though the year without the loss,

Technical, athletic, quick and dynamic are words that describe this year's team. The depth of this team is unbelievable. We're at least two deep at every position, and in some spots three.

Ryan is really excited about this year and making an even bigger name for himself for the MLS Draft. He's very creative and such a great passer. Matt is an unpredictable player because he can use his right and left foot. He's hard-working and is a big part of the attack.

Ryan is a very hard tackler, and he comes with a great soccer pedigree. Josh has been a three-sport athlete and I think he's really going to excel in college as he focuses on soccer. Collin loves to get forward and is a very proficient passer. Tracy is an explosive player who is extremely tricky on the ball.

Our depth in the midfield is incredible. If guys aren't getting the job done, someone else will move in and get it done.

A lot of the freshmen stepped up and I was really glad to see that. We kept pressing the issue and it's the second time this season we've scored on a set piece, which is something we work hard on.

They really tore up the PDL this summer. Those two have formed a lethal combination.

It's not forced. I make sure that both sides are suitable for each other before making my final decision.

(St. Mary's) was very solid, great in the air and in my estimation an NCAA-tournament team.

The kids have an outlet with this program. They get someone who is responsible for them. They can talk to and confide in their mentor. This program is just for them.

In 2004, we had so many new faces on the field,

Garrett is a strong, tenacious player with a personality that will really benefit the team. Sean is a great one-on-one open-field tackler. Ryan may be one of our most versatile players who can help us in the back or in the midfield.

Alex brings a lot of senior leadership and really understands what we're trying to do. Loren is a solid defender who loves to get forward in the attack, and he's a good ball-striker. Lloyd has improved immensely and is a strong, athletic player who is hard to beat.
