Panther City Lacrosse Club News Release


Fort Worth, Texas - The Panther City Lacrosse Club wrapped up two practice sessions prior to their game against the Georgia Swarm this evening. The game will be broadcast locally and nationally on ESPNU. The team is coming off an impressive victory last Friday over the San Diego Seals. Forward Phil Caputo tied his season-high and notched four goals and Rookie of the Year Candidate Patrick Dodds led the team with six points (2 goals, 4 assists). Goalie Nick Damude was stellar between the pipes, rejecting 45 of 55 shots for a .818 save percentage. The game against Georgia will be a reunion for the Thompson family, as Panther City's Jeremy Thompson will square off against his two younger brothers, Lyle and Miles.

HEAD COACH TRACEY KELUSKY QUOTES

On the team's mindset going into tonight's game

"Just play. We can obviously look at what is happening big picture with playoffs and those sort of things, but we are at our best when we focus on what is in front of us. My focus is the first five minutes. The more I can get the guys I can get the guys in that mindset, the better off we will be."

On the message to the team with playoff implications looming over the final two games of the regular season

"Our approach the whole season - break the game down into the minute details. If you have to focus on your sprint off, getting down on loose balls, boxing out - the simplest portions of the game, break it down into its purest form and that is what we are going to focus on."

FORWARD PHIL CAPUTO QUOTES

On his mindset entering the game tonight following a strong performance last week

"It is not about me. It is about the team right now. We have to come out here and work together and play within our roles to be successful tonight."

On team's mindset with playoff implications looming and their ability to stay focused

"We are staying level-headed out there. We can't win two games in one weekend. Our focus tonight is on Georgia. We have to play to our systems and play to our strengths and hopefully come out with a win tonight."

On the keys to victory this evening

"Playing fast is one. That is one is our biggest thing. Setting hard picks. These guys are going to be spread out tonight, so we have to set some hard picks, get to the middle and take away transition because they have a lot of threats."
