Louisville City FC News Release
JAMES O'CONNOR
Opening statement: "Obviously delighted we're through. Fantastic. I'm really proud of the players. I thought the players were excellent. I thought it was a really strong performance -- really professional performance -- and we fully deserved to win the game. I'm really, really pleased for all the players."
You got the goal earlier than last time: "I thought in the first half, we had some really good chances. We got into good areas. We just have to pull the trigger a little bit quicker. I thought we had some quality passages of play -- just couldn't quite get the shot off quickly enough, and they defended really well. Had some good blocks, and Greg (Ranjitsingh) made some really big, important saves for us at the right time. But all in all, look. To get to the conference final again, the guys deserve enormous credit. They really do."
Is it appropriate it goes through New York? "I think for us, our focus was obviously on trying to get there. I think now that we are there, it's fantastic. You've got the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds. It's great. From our end, we're certainly looking forward to the game, as I'm sure New York are. Both have a lot of respect for each other, so it should be a great game and we're excited to go there and play them."
SEAN REYNOLDS
On his part: "I don't really get to assist or score goals that much, so it definitely feels good to have a point on the season."
Reynolds on a New York rematch: "We're 0-4 against New York the past two years, so it's definitely something all of us have in the back of our mind. Of course, tonight was all about Charleston. It's like a bug. It's like a chip on the shoulder. You've been beaten four times by the same team, and you want some revenge. New York's a good team. I watched them play last night."
KADEEM DACRES
On his goal: "I had a tough angle, and I didn't really see anyone in the middle at the time. My whole thought process behind it was just striking it on target."
On a New York rematch: "They played good football all season, and we always knew they were going to be up there. We're ready for them. We're pretty much ready for them. They're the top team, and they're doing well. We respect them, but we'll have something ready."
