We’re much faster, much cleaner off the ground. I can’t remember in a long time when the whole [freshman] class brought so much. They’re refreshing. They have no bad memories. We’ll see what happens when...

It’s frustrating, because I don’t think we played our game in the first quarter. We were tied 1-1 at the end of the first quarter, but it took a lot of out of us, a...

He knows how to keep things in line and organized.

I was really disappointed in our offense today, [Cornell] didn’t slide to anybody. All [our players] had to do was run by somebody and throw the ball in the goal.

This is one of those games that if you come into Princeton to play big-time games, well this is one of them.

We’ve got a bunch of athletic, confident kids that play within our system, but we can’t sit back anymore. We’re going to have more fouls and create more turnovers.

I think it is uncharted waters and we have no idea.

What can you say? Peter was unbelievable.

Alex is phenomenal, if not the best goalie the country, certainly one of them. He does it every day in practice, so it’s almost commonplace to see him do these things. He was great today,...

So disappointing. Not because you lose, but because of the effort the kids put in all week long.

Any one shot on goal can be the difference. We need to concentrate on every opportunity.

It’s going to be quite a challenge to bounce back after a tough loss. It really becomes as close to a must-win as you can get.

You look at their goals and they took advantage of some situations, and you look at our goals and we didn’t.

As I told them, if we win our last three games, we’re in the tournament, if we lose any of those three, we’re probably out. It’s still in our hands, I believe, though you never...

The kids stepped up big time when they could have quit.

We have got to take care of the little things and protect the ball on offense. We lost a huge opportunity, but it was confidence building in that we can compete at that level.

You can imagine him nodding his head as you listen to the tape.

The guys actually were mixing up their shots pretty good, [so] you’ve got to give him a lot of credit.

He’s strong, and he’s very fast. Those two things are really important to being great at his position.

They’re much more powerful shooters. Hofstra was able to score where we didn’t.

We knew what happened last year. We lost to this team 17-4. We knew how they could score, and we knew we had to not let that happen to have a chance.

[Syracuse did] an amazing job, I thought, defending our guys individually, which meant that as a team they didn’t have to do quite as much of slides or anything.

Zach has an underlying competitiveness that stems from his competitive racing and his desire to be the best at what he does.

Alex was fabulous. We know we’ve got a great goalie; Alex gives our defense confidence.

There was a little spark, so hopefully we can carry that into our Ivy League season.

It’s one of those things where you go into a big game…and the goalie starts to look a little bigger and the goal a little smaller. You just don’t have confidence.

This is a very important game, and it is something that we have been looking forward to.

Every game is so important, especially in a year like this with so many upsets. You can’t lose focus. After last year, I think the reminder is still clear enough.

He brings the offensive game of lacrosse to a more cerebral level.

They’re a very talented team, they play great defense and their goalie has been playing very well.

Like Tuesday night’s game, we have narrowed [this upcoming game] down to another must-win. We still have a chance to tie for the Ivy League Championship and that is very important here.

You have to get possession. You can’t play defense for as long as we did, especially against a really good team like Hofstra.

What goes on with Princeton lacrosse is as much to the credit of him as to me and the players. He’s a dynamic man with endless energy.

Something is going to have to give. We know they have hot shooters. We are going to have to stay with them and take control of possessions.

They’ve got an amazing group of offensive players. So we have to take care of that business.

I think the guys think of him in a very respectful way, as a guy who can very easily lead them. And they look at him as a friend.

[Scott’s] doing what he should be doing. He’s all about his own confidence, and so you see Scott in games. When he gets the first one, he’s pretty good.

This is one of the best offensive teams we’ve seen, and we didn’t hold them down ? we had the ball more. Tonight, the offense won the game for us.

I think, just like Syracuse the other day, we may have felt like we had our backs against the wall. This was a classic Princeton win.

We were worried about possession. We never had the ball up there last year. We tried a bunch of different things. We weren’t as concerned with winning or losing the face-off as stopping the fast...

Schwartzman was definitely the difference in the first half. But our guy was the difference in the second.

This game was similar to the Virginia game in that we jumped up, everything we worked on was working and then we stopped playing.

They found things in these tapes I had explained in a more benign manner.

He’s from Massachusetts. When you bring kids home, they always do well. That was it.

Because of my experience being in the inspections and being in the military, I knew the significance of these tapes when I heard them.

His role is no less than mine is. And it is a lot greater than mine in some ways.

This could have been a watershed game. Unfortunately, maybe it was.

We lost our composure a little bit at the end, and they’re good enough to take advantage. You hold somebody to four goals, a team like Cornell, that’s averaging god knows what, that’s all you...

I think they’re the best-shooting team in the country. They spread their scoring out, and they have guys who can just finish their shots unlike a lot of teams.
