5 Quotes by Max Zarchin

We're in the playoffs now, so that's one less thing we have to worry about. Seeing this defense jell as one just lifts me. And it goes both ways, because we feed off each other.

Times when I feel like I'm the last man, that's when I tend to play bad. So I try to block that out and just have fun. I feel extremely confident. The defense had an energy we haven't had all year. We feel like one unit right now, and that's important heading into the playoffs.

The excitement definitely brought out the best in our defense. They played great. It was the best that they've played all season, and it's the most intense I've seen them get. And it was definitely sparked by the offense being able to finish in the second half.

That's one of the question marks this year. If the defense can recover from all the losses we've had. But I'm pretty confident and very excited. It's nice to be the underdog for once.

You've got to expect tough shots like that in the game. But I'm just glad we pulled out the victory today. Our defense made a good stand.
