“We played against a good team, we knew before the game that Ireland were one of the best teams in the world and we are very happy because we are young team, we are rebuilding.”
Bernard Laporte
“They're a very good team. I knew tonight we'd be playing one of the best teams in the region. And with Curley on the mound, they're one of the best 15 or 20 teams in the state.”
Jeff Schulkens
“Our team wasn't playing well, and they're one of those type of teams that just run hard and they hit you. And we didn't handle it that well.”
Chad Comroe
“We played well, and one thing we've been working on is playing well as a team. We've started picking it up a little bit. The kids have stopped making excuses and have done a good job of picking it up.”
Kate McCluskey
“I think we're happy to be playing a different team than we've played this year. It's always good to play a new team, but it doesn't really matter who it is. We're just going to try and get few wins.”
Dan Murphy
“Our team plays so hard but sometimes we don't play as smart as we need to. And playing hard isn't good enough. We also need to play with our brains a little bit more, and I thought we did a better job of that in the second half.”
Chad Olson
“She has played very well this season, despite being the primary focus of each team we play. She plays so hard each and every game and is an inspiration for her teammates.”
