Nick Holley Quotations

We knew that we had many talented players. What's surprised me was how good our defense has played. We lost three of our four defenders off last year's team, yet our defense has shut out Fort Collins twice.

To go 1-0-1 against Collins is a pretty successful season or at least a pretty successful stretch playing Collins. Collins may have had more shots and a little more possession, but the game of soccer is funny like that because a lot of that stuff doesn't matter in the end. In the end, we're both 0-0. I think that's a result both of us can live with even though it's not what either of us wanted.

It was a closer game than some might think, but they have Estelle and she did what she does. She had a goal and played super-solid in the back.

We played very poorly against Rocky Mountain, so we wanted to come out against Fort Collins and show what we could do. We brought our 'A' game (Thursday) and, hopefully, we opened up some eyes around the state.

We match up well with Collins, but it doesn't seem like we match up as well with Rocky. They are a powerhouse. They're just a very solid team and they beat us. But our confidence isn't shaken. We've played the best and we've beaten the best. And we know we can do it on any given day.
