We played what I think is a really solid, physical team in Lowell. They're bigger and stronger than we are. They're older and a bit more experienced. We took a lot of hits, but we got up and played.

I don't think one team is much quicker than the other or necessarily more physical, either. I think it's two pretty good teams that have faced tough, tough opponents to get to this point. We are two teams that are much more similar more than dissimilar.

They are very deserving national champions. I think (Wisconsin) is the best team we have played this year over 60 minutes.

I do not think we have played a team this athletic before. They are bigger stronger and faster in almost every position. I do not think we played slow or didn't put in the effort, this team is known for its athleticism.

We just shut down as a team, ... They got more physical and we shut down.
