We're getting used to the pressure we're going to face all year long. I'm pleased that we keep finding a way to win. But we didn't play close to our potential tonight.

It's always special when Syracuse comes to town. You know it's going to be high-scoring and fast-paced.

He's one of those guys who, when the game's on the line, he wants the ball on his stick. That's one of the things I look up to him for. It's not just like he wants the ball. He follows through [when he gets it].

It was a good win. Coming down here to Carolina you always know it's going to be a hard game.

Face-offs can help deflate a run or help you go on a run. It's something you can control. Possession is the key in any sport you have the ball -- you have a chance to win.

You just know every year it's going to be wild with Syracuse. Their style is just great and they're up and down the field. It's the way lacrosse is supposed to be played.
