38 Quotes by Mark Pavlik

We're reaching a point in the season when knees are starting to get a little bit tender, and shoulders. Especially in the men's game, you know, you've got 190 pounds, it's not the jumping, it's the landing. I want us to be as fresh as possible in late April or May.

I don't care if we're up 18-10, there are going to matches where we're going to be at 22-22 against good teams, so that was the disappointment there.
