“They'll have seen Sunday's win against Liverpool as a big step towards the title. Maybe the Champions League and FA Cup are becoming more important for them. They might even put out their strongest teams in those competitions now. But we're going there with no fear. We've got a belief about us now and we want to show that.”
David Moyes
“We look at this as a step toward the Big East title. It's big to come here and win. It's the first time in history. It's definitely a monkey off our backs, but we can't put everything on this one game.”
Cappie Pondexter
“Yes, I think she is, but it's not easy to win a title, ... I think that's one more step that she can do because she has a pretty solid game. She's still pretty young.”
Elena Dementieva
“I told my seniors that if they want to win a region title they need to step up and show the young guys how to do it.”
Michael Espinoza
“Only two teams finish the season with a win -- the team that wins the state title and the third-place finisher. The fact that we ended up where we did, I think we surpassed what many people thought we could accomplish. That's a credit to our girls.”
Gina Nolan
“Our goal is to win a seventh consecutive title, but it will not be easy. In fact, we're not even the favorite this year.”
Chuck Tursky
“Titles are but nicknames, and every nickname is a title.”
