I got what I was looking for ? a ground ball ? and unfortunately, it took a bad hop.

We just didn't score. If a ball took a bad hop, it was in his game. If we booted a ball, it was when he was out there.

I was really apprehensive about this game and the key is we took care of the ball in the second half and that's not easy against Maryland. We battened down the hatches and really settled down in the second half.

The ball was on the ground, but he picked it up and got it on the tee. We got it through.

He's always been a great on-ball defender. Sometimes he's a little lackluster off the ball. We're just looking for completeness from him. He's a good player and he works hard at it.

It was unfortunate that it had come to this. I'm satisfied with the fact I was able to tell my side of the story.
