If we take care of business in the eight games we have, we've been assured by Division III that we're going to be fine.

In all reality we haven't talked about it at all. It's a neat goal, and after it is accomplished it will be nice to talk about it for a while, but we're more focused on the team right now, and what we need to do to be our best.

Sometimes when you're 3-4 you're playing for pride, but there was still something significant to play for. Our players knew that.

The No. 1 thing for us right now is obviously just playing the game to the best of our ability. And that's how the streak began, I think. Every team has wanted to do its best.

Last year, our goal was to win at least three games, because that's something no Division 1 team without a senior class had ever done before. We ended up 2-7, which didn't sit well with anybody around here. We have everybody returning from last year's team and a lot of them have game experience, which puts us in a unique situation this season.

There were some games that things weren't working very well, we weren't getting the protections, and we had to be a little bit more conservative. But there were times I felt we could have opened it up a little bit more.
