Keith Wilbur Game Quotations

This was our first home game this year against a ranked team and having a big crowd really adds energy to the game and our players definitely feed off of that. The student athletes at Santa Clara have a mutual respect for one another so having them all cheering for the team really made us want to play well in front of them.

Our first game against East Bay was early in the year. Both of our teams have improved since then, and playing them at their home pool is a much tougher environment than playing them here. We need to come out and play high intensity water polo right from the start.

Our first game is a game we should win. This is the first year we can say that.

We came out strong like we needed to. It's a great game to have under our belts heading into tomorrow's game with UC Davis. The UC Davis game is really big for our team and we're looking forward to it.

We like being seeded third. Having the first-round bye will be really important because then we will be more rested going into the second-round game. I do not like to think past our first game, but the path to the championship game is much better as a three seed than as a four or five seed, which is what we have been the past three years.

Brown is solid team, and they have played a very tough schedule this year. They are much better than their win loss record would indicate, and we expect a good competitive game from them.

Our team was fired up from the get go. They wanted to play well for the seniors. We had a good game plan drawn up from the last time we faced them and we executed it pretty well.

It was a good game at home. We came out strong and stuck to our game plan. They run a different offense than what we are accustomed to seeing, but we did a good job defending it.

It was a good game by our team. It's tough to play so soon after a double overtime victory, so it was important to come out mentally strong and that's what they did.

It was a big first game for us. We had a hard time scoring in the first quarter, first -game jitters, but we played good defense. We are happy we won the first game and we are looking forward to tomorrow's match.

It was a good showing by the alumni. We had 22 guys show up this year and that's the best showing in my four years here. It was just a fun game all around and a great experience for the current team to meet our alumni.

It was a good all-around game for our team. It was good to play a lot of different people. After yesterday's difficult loss, the team responded well and came out strong this afternoon.

The game against Air Force was tough. They jumped out on us from the beginning and it was tough to come back. We battled hard against Pomona and it was good to see. It wasn't the prettiest game, but we did what we needed to do to win. This was a good weekend overall.

They are a tough team to play, and they are even tougher to play in a smaller pool like ours. It should be a really good game. Also, it is our last home game of the year, and it is senior day. Even if the weather is not that great, we are hoping for a big crowd to give us that extra edge.

It was a tough game. We came out pretty well in the first quarter and we stuck to our game plan. They got really physical in the second quarter and we didn't match it like we needed to.

It was a really good game for us. Last year, they beat us in the last match of the year by a goal, so this was a solid win for us. We have a good rivalry going with them and it's always competitive when we face off.

It was a real physical game. We had a tough time scoring but we played good defense throughout the game and our offense came through at the end.
