[Having freshmen toward the front is] a good sign; it means our team is getting stronger.

With the new team and all the new freshmen, I thought it would give us a good feel for our staff and what we need to work on for the season.

We stopped them when we had to. That's the sign of a good team.

I would say that it was generally a mixed performance. There were some people on the team who did very well and a few who were disappointed with how they raced.

That definitely means something. The freshmen have made a lot of difference this year. They have been great. They have adapted well to the way we play.

The whole team has really stepped up their game this fall. I'm expecting great things from everyone -- even the freshmen are expected to come in and make an impact.
