What they had to say:

Defender Shannon Gomez

(On going against another strong Western Conference opponent...)

"I think most importantly, you got to focus on executing the game plan, and it's another opportunity to play against a tough opponent, and another opportunity to try to get three points, another opportunity to play in front of these beautiful fans in the stadium, and as I said before, like this is one of the better teams in the Western Conference, and it's going to be a tough game, but we can take the positives out of that, and being able to play against tough opponents week in and week out is important for us. You know, as you gear up for playoffs, you want to have those games. You want to have those mental battles. You want to have those thrilling games. You want to have those duels. You want to be sharp, and these are the games that every player wants to play in, so I think for us, it's another opportunity. We see it as this opportunity to continue growing as a group, because I feel like there's a lot of areas on the field that we could continue growing in, and we're good at it, and we can be so much better at it as well, too, so I think it's always an opportunity to grow."

Head Coach Carlos Llamosa

(On Sacramento's strong defense...)

"They play with five in the back. They defend well when they go in a low block. They defend with everybody behind the ball, so it's tough to break through. We have to be clinical. Any chance that you get, you have to put that ball away because you're not going to have a second or a third chance, so if that's an opportunity we get, we should finish it."
