That was one of my goals this week, come in and not give up any points. There's going to be extra pressure (being a defending champion) but I'll be taking it like I have on the other matches. I have to step it up next week.

He had me, but I kept my back arched and somehow I came out from between his legs.

I?m disappointed because I wanted to win the match, but it?s just going to make me work harder. I can?t let this slow me down at all.

I had both his ankles, my feet were in. I thought it was two (points), and the ref thought it was two.

We had a good strong regular season. We accomplished some of the goals that we set for ourselves and now it's about going in here and buckling down, coming out executing defensively and offensively and really putting it all together, because the reward is sweet if we do.

The guys who are supposed to be scoring are scoring goals, and the guys who are supposed to be stopping the other team from scoring them are doing it.
