SU Player Quotes
Syracuse vs. Loyola
March 29, 2008
Carrier Dome/Syracuse, N.Y.
Mike Leveille, Sr., Attack
On getting off to a slow start:
“We’ve had a lot of shots. We’ve gotten off to slow starts shooting in other games this season. We just try to hang in there and keep shooting and keep running our offense and eventually they’re going to fall for us.”
On playing more of a slow down game:
“It’s been a good experience for us. Most of the games this year the other teams have been playing up and down. That’s a style we’re happy playing, but we need to be prepared to play a slow-down game too and value our possessions. That’s what we did today.”
On being highly-ranked in the polls:
“It’s exciting, but at the same time we’re more satisfied with being 7-1, working hard, and feeling that we can win every game. We aren’t satisfied here. We’re not done yet. We’re going to take it week by week and one game at a time.”
Pat Perritt, Jr., Midfield
On the team chemistry:
“I think we’re really starting to mesh. The first game it’s a little tougher, when you’re playing together. As each game goes on, you get more and more comfortable playing with one another.”
On winning at home:
“It’s fun. It’s nice seeing students out there. All the support from the fans is just great.”
Jovan Miller, Fr., Midfield
On making hustle plays:
“I think I just want to add energy to this team, regardless if it’s a groundball or anything. I definitely think we started off a little slow, but I think that was because of the way Loyola possessed the ball. I definitely think it was energizing to the team.”
John Galloway, Fr., Goalie
On his progress as a goalie:
“I think I’ve made improvements, but there’s still a lot of mistakes I’m making. I think the consistency with stopping the ball isn’t there yet. In the first half, there were some shots that I wanted to get back in the second half. I just try to improve. There’s so much to work and I will continue to work on it each week.”
