We let up, and didn't finish the game the way we are supposed to. You have to play seven innings all the time, and we learned our lesson today.

It was a back and forth struggle. The game was a good early season test on the road. No one should have lost, but someone had to.

We have a lot of guys returning with varsity experience. I think we've gotten stronger. We should be very competitive. The guys have been working very hard and want to have a successful season.

We were just really excited to play them again. We hated to lose the [Ivy title], but in a lot of ways this was a much more important match.

He was just a raw-boned kid that loved the game and never took a play off. Coming from a small town, he had not learned a whole lot about football. So he would always want to know, 'Coach, should I take a 6-inch step, should I take a 12-inch step, what's my aiming point?' It was like coaching a kid in youth league that wants to ask you a million questions.

We had a lot of transition play, got some rebounds and created some turnovers.
