“We wanted a tough game going into playoffs. We wanted our 'A' game going into the playoffs. I felt in stretches we played as well as we did all season.”
“I thought we started very well. We worked on what we wanted to work on, which was quick passing and movement off of the ball, get into a good rhythm of play. I thought for the first . . . 15 or 20 minutes, we did that.”
“We scored some good goals, and then unfortunately, we had a lot of players that wanted to do a lot of things on their own, and the quality of the play dropped. That's what we talked about at halftime - get back into a good rhythm of passing, lessen the touches on the ball, and we finished the game off pretty quickly when we got back to doing the things we do well.”
