Richie Meade Played Quotations

I would have liked to see us play with more focus and concentration longer into this game. We played well in the first quarter and well into the second quarter, and then we just flattened out a little bit.

We made mistakes, but fortunately it's been well advertised that we have Matt Russell. I thought we played a solid game defensively.

Overall I was pleased with the way we played. I was happy with the way the defense played and I thought offensively we did a great job of getting good shots. We didn't shoot the ball as well as I would have liked, especially early. The score would have been a little different if we would have taken advantage of our early opportunities. I thought we played hard and we got a lot of guys in the game.

When the other team only scores three goals, it's always a positive for the defense. I thought we played a solid game defensively, played with confidence.

They were putting a lot of pressure on Ian and he made some bad passes, but overall he played about as well as he's played all season. Ian was more of a factor tonight because there was a conscious effort on our part to make him more of a factor.

This has been our pattern. We played extremely well defensively and made just a few mistakes.

It's a gigantic boost for us. I've kind of felt like we have gotten no breaks this year. Things have not gone our way at times, and some of that is because we have not played well in critical situations. Tonight I thought we played hard and tough.

We kind of thought after what happened against Virginia that (Alford) would be on a short leash. I thought the kid they put in played very well. He made some very good stops.
