“Now a good team plays to make it difficult for me. A player comes for me and stays with me when I bring the ball forward to give it to a midfielder or striker. It is my job but it is difficult sometimes in the match.”
Claude Makelele
“This a great opportunity to be around the game. Obviously, there will be a little bit more responsibility. As (the) hitting coach (last season), I was kind of lurking in the shadows whereas the manager has to deal with hitters, the pitchers, the front office and the fans. It's a bigger responsibility, but one I accept and look forward to.”
Aaron Nieckula
“There's 12 really good reasons (to stay), the 12 players on my team, ... And that's always going to be the case. You always coach for the players and you always coach for the enjoyment that you get out of it. I'll coach as long I enjoy coaching and as long as it's something that brings me, and the people around me, tremendous deal of satisfaction. When that's not the case any more I won't coach anymore. Here or anywhere else.”
Geno Auriemma
“Those guys are coached by a great coach and they're a great team. Great teams make plays. We stayed solid and stayed together and got a win.”
Carl Krauser
“Those two guys are such good players. Playing on a line with them, the big thing is to stay out of their way and let them do their thing.”
Stu Barnes
“We played well at times. We did a good job of staying in the game. We stayed within our game plan and got some easy shots.”
Jason Floetke
“It was a sweet win for the team. The players stayed focused and played well form top to bottom. We now need to come back and keep the same level of intensity for the match today against Cape Central.”
