Steve Adlard Quotations

He should have just eased it home instead of crashing it home.

I was frustrated the ref used the red card. But we did well, our boys dug in and I thought we got something out of it.

We played a great first half and dominated play and possession and frustrated them in everything they tried to. I don't think they got into flow of game. Obviously with no shots on goal it gives indication.

Thank goodness in certainly the last 4 minutes they didn't get anything. It was a fighting, spirited game in tough conditions, but you know what? We played quite well.

The more the second half wore on, the more we decided to consolidate what we had. That doesn't mean we dropped back, but when we got possession, we limited some of what we tried to do. Grow was in goal. He came out and cleared some things with a punch and a catch in the second half and their was one scramble in the goal mouth, but the boys absorbed whatever came their way. Penn State was frustrated all day.

It was a lovely goal, just textbook, really. It doesn't have to be struck hard.

It's a coach's nightmare when you go up 2-0. For 10 minutes, the pressure came and they scored their goal, and it became emotional. We were able to avoid anything else after that, but it was a critical time for us.

It's a very high level to be competing with. To prove you belong is very encouraging.

It was a fighting, spirited game in tough conditions. We scored two goals and looked like we could have scored more. We got our offense started and that's encouraging.

He's slowly weaving into his normal position. I was surprised he was able to last the whole second half and play well.

He bailed the team out when all was lost. Rebounds, hitting the post, I think he did some great things.
