26 Quotes by Richie Meade

I'm impressed that Army has found a way to win close games, often coming from behind to do so. That shows mental toughness.

We haven't had two captains since the 1984 season. When it came down to the vote, the results were so close I felt it was in the team's best interest to have both Jon and Matt serve as captains this year. I'm very comfortable with having the two of them in the leadership role.

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.

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.

Five minutes into the fourth quarter is when the game was won and lost. With a two-goal lead, if we start the fourth quarter with possession it gives you a certain comfort level.

Something I thought was missing from our first two games was our transition game. We were able to score some transition goals today thanks in part to our success in the face-off game. We also made some nice plays in the middle of the field which is a strength for us.

There were a lot of fouls in the second quarter and that kind of took our momentum away.

There were too many little things that didn't go our way today for us to come up with a win.

It was a very hard-fought game. I felt comfortable, but I never felt we were pulling away. It's pretty impressive to beat a team like Ohio State 9-3.
