16 Quotes by Dave Cottle

We're in favor of winning some this year.

We're executing all even at a very low level. I think that has been the malady of our team right now. Quite clearly we are not at the level of execution on half-field offense the way we should be. Right now, you should be scoring one out of every three half-field possessions, and we're nowhere near that.

Last year was a battle and we expect a battle this year. We're going to have to play well to win, that's for sure.

Last year we were 5-5 at this spot. We didn't want to be there again. We talked all week that all of our goals are still in front of us. We're headed in the right direction but still have a lot of work to do.

For us, it's not so much who scores but how we get them. They're almost starting to look better. At times it was a struggle today, but it was one of those games that was going to be kind of difficult. I felt we ran well and played a lot of guys and I was happy.

We've felt like we haven't been getting transition goals, so that's a big goal for us. We've been working on that for the last two weeks. That's an area we think we can improve on.

We haven't practiced well since the Duke game, and unfortunately, maybe we needed a loss to recognize that. We didn't handle success as well as we would have liked.

You'd like to say something happened, this remarkable thing in the locker room, but what happened is our seniors stepped up. What turned us around was our players. We didn't make that many adjustments that made a difference. Our kids just played a lot better in the second half.

We're trying to figure out who the best goalie is. The best goalie in practice this week will be the starter.
