We were able to play goal side and play good stand-up defense and not really give them a lot of high-quality chances.

Hampden's the best team that we're going to play. It's a rivalry, and we've been looking forward to this. It feels good to get that first big test, but they'll be ready for us when we go down there.

We definitely didn't play great defense, good would be a matter of who you ask, I suppose. It was one of those bend-and-don't-break type of things. But they did get a couple big ones on us.

He's going to have his games where he gets two or three goals. He's also going to have his games where people are going to concentrate on him, and we have other weapons out there.

Our younger players have been big. They have played top-notch on defense.

His very intense defense fits the mold of the Big Ten, which is very physical. He should be a perfect fit for this conference.
