Post Game Quotes

Sept. 23, 2004
Utah Head Coach Rich Manning
"This was a really good win. Washington State is a good team. They defend very well, and for us to be able to control the ball the way we did and create the chances that we did is very rewarding."
"We have so many new players, and this allows us to get more time together."
"I thought we were a little bit fortunate to get the early goal at home, because it makes the other team feel like it is an uphill battle."
On the Cougar goal: "It was a great shot, but we had two or three breakdowns defensively along the way that hopefully we will learn from."
"The great thing about the game today was the quality of the opponent, and it was a great battle trying to play offensively. You can't simulate that in practice."
"The middle of the second half we played outstanding. We couldn't have played any better. Washington State is a great organized team and it was good play by us not to lapse on defense."
"Our passing was the best all season. The combinations were great. The forwards played their best game. Hailey Marsh held the ball well for us and created a couple of chances, and Chelsea (Card) did what I hoped she would do."
Washington State Head Coach Matt Potter
"Simply, Utah outplayed us. They had a wonderful day. They were very organized and were very disciplined to what they wanted to get done. They passed the ball well, and when the opportunities presented themselves Utah finished them very, very well. You wouldn't expect that from anyone other than a good team, and Utah is a good team and they'll do well this season."
"Our character has been tested and now we have to see how we can bounce back, but one game is not going to make our season. The lessons that we learned from this game need to be addressed, and then we go back to BYU on Saturday and hopefully get it right."
"The season is not based on this one game. Our season has been going well and we didn't put in the performance today that our season has deserved. We got beat by a good team and that is a valuable lesson for us.
Ute Freshman Forward Chelsea Card
"We've been working a lot on our runs and making them direct. I think that we are starting to click more as a team, and that really helps us."
Ute Sophomore Forward Hailey Marsh
"I thought our set pieces were a lot better. The passes were good and our forwards were making good runs. We had good possession of the ball with the defender on our back, which helps us calm down and slow the game down and pass it back to midfield."
