I was glad Josh Wolff was out. He has been so hot and so dynamic. He would have caused us trouble. They brought in Chris Klein in the second half. I thought we contained him pretty well. He was another guy we were worried about.

We don't like to pack it in against MLS teams. We like to see if we can go out and play soccer.

We have a talented group of players, and it's just been one of those situations. We've just been proving ourselves by playing good, clean soccer.

The race for that final playoff spot is extremely close this year. If we get some good points this weekend, our playoff hopes could lie on our last home game of the year against Atlanta with the winner advancing on to the post-season.

To get that 10th [straight win], we've got a fight on our hands. This is a big basketball game for us. Mentally we know we've beat every team in the league.

I'm glad Jack was able to get player of the year, but I'm sure if you asked him, he'd rather be going to the NCAA tournament next week.
