So far we've only lost to one Division II opponent (Lake Superior State). We still have some tough matches coming up against teams ranked ahead of us in the region.

It's tough. You're out there thinking about your own match, trying to take your own opponent. With all those matches in the beginning going the wrong way for us, it's tough. But I really just stick to my match and try to win my point.

Our division is a tough division and we've got to find a way to be better in it. I don't think anybody can look at our effort and say we're upset, but I don't think we can be fooled by it either. We've got to find ways to win these divisional games, they're very important in the standings.

This is far superior to where we were.

That doesn't mean much now. We've got a tough opponent in the playoffs and we want to go out there and concentrate on beating those guys and perform as well as we can. We have to keep our focus and play our game. They're going to make it tough, so we're going to have to pay a bit of price in front of the net — get into the corners and work hard.

He's lost only three matches this year. It's amazing. I can't be number one this year but I'm still very young. I'm 19 years old and I have many years to be number one.
