It was a tough battle.

They're focused and they have some goals they want to achieve. I've got a lot of confidence in them. I think we'll be in good shape to accomplish some things down the stretch.

I was very pleased with how my team played. I thought we totally controlled the second half especially and much of the first half. Rochester has a very strong program and we took it them in the second half and did everything but score.

We improved, definitely, from each game we played. We did a better job today of opening up space for people to operate in. We used more of the field.

You can't be afraid to put out a fire if you're a fireman. You can't be afraid to be a police officer and carry a gun if you're afraid to get up and go out there. So you've got to put that fear to the side and go out in faith to overcome that.

It'd be easier for me if the board voted tonight, ... since I wouldn't have to vote. But I think it's important to be fair. We've talked about this issue for a long time. I think I know which way I'm going to go on this and that way I can be responsible (for the decision).
