I think the nice thing in both games, we kept looking to win, we kept looking to force the play. This team is very fit, we looked a very fit team in both games we were playing.

I thought the wide midfielders -- both Nate and Ian -- both did very well. Both scored excellent goals and you know, carried the play and were threatening throughout the game. These were the players that were causing Michigan a lot of problems throughout.

The one thing I would be proud of the team, they kept trying really hard to win it. We forced both the overtimes - Notre Dame was the team looking to win the game.

They both worked hard and one of the most pleasing things for me was to watch at halftime Justin was out warming up Chris, getting ready, ... He was a rival and they both work so well to help one another and to improve each other.
