They physically wore us down. Their experience and strength took over. They have nice athletes who are competitive, tenacious and well-drilled.

Steamboat's strength is not downhill, for lack of experience, but our athletes skied very well in the event. All of the Steamboat athletes moved up from their start position in both the downhill and super G. Now that the speed portion of the event is over, we are focusing on the (technical) events, where Steamboat is much stronger.

Sam (Brooks) played a really nice game. He has steadily improved as the season has gone on.

Defensively, we played with a purpose in the first half. Our kids took advantage of what Eminence gave us in the first half. Our seniors were focused on this game and getting the Powder Keg back.

It was nice to get the monkey off his back. He focused on the match and took it to him. Our game plan for that individual bout was what we wanted to do. It is up to the Fort Cherry wrestler to adjust now.

Our strength is that we have depth, so we should contend. We have athletes that are capable of finishing at the top of the BIG EAST. Depth is very important to us, so the more we have, the better off we will be.
