Head Coach Giuliano Oliviero on... Tonight's final regular season home game: "I thought we had a great crowd tonight and our players put on a great show for the fans. There are a few things we need to iron out on the defensive end but I thing we are heading in the right direction."

Switching between Goalkeeper Matt Eisold and sixth attackers: "We've been a little unlucky with goalkeepers this year, we are on our fourth. We just want to be prepared for the playoffs and if we do have to pull the goalie whether it's to get back into the game or we have another goalkeeper injury, we'll be prepared for it. I thought our sixth attackers play great today."

Ian Bennett: "At first, we thought it was really bad, he was slow to get up and slow to get off the field. Doctor's reports say it is a sprain, to what to degree, I don't know but I'm confident we'll have him for game one of the playoffs Thursday in Chicago."
