We hoped to have another win or two, but the team played well despite a few untimely penalties. We gave up five goals due to penalties.

You can't win a game with [12] penalties when you have an experienced team, but when you have a bunch of 18-year-olds it's insurmountable.

They played like a team that was desperate to win and we played like a team that was standing around. We had no battle and had no fight. They did the little things that you need to do to win.

Let me say this. It's uncharacteristic of my team to have that many penalties.

We played a bit sloppy and were undisciplined at times, but a win's a win and now we move on to the semifinals.

We're a very young team, and look how well we've played against so many teams. We've been able to win a lot in the Big 12, and we could have won a lot more. We're really showing up in the last part of the season.
