adjusted initial since
It did in the initial adjustment, but after a week, you get adjusted to it. Since then, it's been great.
adjusted ball communication days defense early few good job last plays shooting stopped
Offensively we were more patient. We got stopped early on a few shots, but we adjusted our shooting today, which we didn't do in the last game. Defensively, communication was very good. Even with only two days to prepare, our defense did a good job of recognizing some of their plays and getting there before they did or getting there before the ball did.
benefits coaching help staff team
(The new position) is going to help in many ways. The team benefits with someone who has had so many years in administration and coaching. The coaching staff can become more organized.
team goal mind
We can't be satisfied as a team. We have one goal in mind right now and it's the next game. We want to get to the championship. We have to come out in practice and get after each other. There can't be any letdowns, we have to keep going.
team congratulations hard-work
First, my congratulations to Yale on their success this year. The more film we watched, the more we realized what a good lacrosse team they were. They don't have any weaknesses. We told the guys all week long, we're going to have to roll up our sleeves and work hard to get this one. Congrats to them for their season.
worried
We were hurting. We were questioning ourselves. We were worried about the season.
ball defense good half job minutes points
We just haven't been able to put 60 minutes of ball together. Our defense did a good job for most of the first half and we couldn't put our points up offensively.

We know Joe's a competitor and he can be intense. I'm sure he'll be a great fit for West Point.
