24 Quotes by Tim Kearney

We did what we asked them to do the entire night. They came down one side and changed the point of attack to the guy on the weak side. That's one of the few times we did it all night long. Good things happen when you do that. You'd think they'd remember that. We've seen Christian hit the ball like that in practice, we'd love to get him open like that more often.

We kept knocking balls out of bounds, I don't know what it was. Some of the guys I expected to play their normal game, which is a pretty steady game, and they didn't play well. We didn't seem to hold the middle of the field real well.

We didn't get the ball wide, which I asked the guys to do. It was like they didn't want to be out there tonight.

We always say a bad cross can be a good shot. You never know, you put a ball in play like that and we have a few players that can do something with it.

We just gave them a few basic instructions and they didn't really do what I asked them to do. I asked them at halftime, they play a very compact game and they like to start everything in the middle and work their way out, so I asked our guys at halftime to start playing the ball wider and over the top of their last offender and they just didn't do it as much as they should have.

We hustled, we stayed with them physically and nobody gave up. That is what I liked.

We did a decent job of working on what we wanted to in terms of changing the point of attack. Getting the ball wide, getting it in, getting it wide again. We didn't take advantage of several of our opportunities. For the first time out I'm pleased.

The soccer Gods aren't in our favor right now. We are getting a lot of bad breaks. Good teams create good luck. We're getting better. I liked what I saw out a lot of guys tonight.

I told them I'd rather be unlucky at the beginning of the season, than at the end of the season.
