“I truly meant [Wednesday] night that if we didn't play well, they'd beat us by 30. But we played much better tonight.”
Dave Robbins
“Every time we play we learn, and I am sure the lessons from Wednesday were not only for Rooney,”
Carlos Queiroz
“It's hard you know, ... It's a lot of games - this team played last Wednesday in D.C. - it was a hard game over there ... well for the fans, I feel very, very sad. Everybody has come here to watch FC Dallas and Dallas can't win at home the last three games.”
Carlos Ruiz
“I think if we would have played Wednesday, or Thursday, it might not have been as good as it was (vs. ND). I think we needed some time. It was more of just kind of getting our heads, rather than our bodies, right.”
Geno Auriemma
“We really wanted to have the 1 seed. Had we won Wednesday and we're playing for the conference championship; that lends a little more weight to (tonight).”
Larry Chapman
“I am very proud of the way we played today. We bounced back from a tough loss on Wednesday, and we maintained our composure when they were coming after us in the second half. We know how good of a team they are, so this is a great win for us.”
Cindy Timchal
“Obviously, we're not there yet. We took a step backwards (Wednesday), as far as playing hard, and that all comes back to the coach.”
