“We got lucky. But truthfully, since I've been here, we've never had a team that has felt like they could just show up and win. It may have looked like it last year, but those kids never took it for granted.”
“We know that anything can happen in the regional tournament. When you're down, you still have a chance. But I hope we don't have to come back twice this year.”
“I told Eli that he may have make some saves that I wouldn't normally need him to make. I said that to win, he may have to come up bigger than normal.”
“I told our team that (South) is probably the best team in the state. We didn't play mistake-free, but we had a tremendous effort from our penalty-killing unit.”
“We just took really stupid penalties. And if you do that against very good teams, you're going to be in trouble. We let them back in that game, and again I give them credit. But they should not have been in that game.”
