Quote from Coach Schreiber:
"There is probably not much I can say that the scores don't show you.  We lacked the killer instinct to put away Oshkosh and Marquette in pool play.  We then never matched Marquette's level of play in the semis.  I hope this fuels our fire because I don't want to go out early for a third weekend in a row.  The championships can erase these poor finishes in a hurry, but only if we are ready to play first match day one.  With no gimmes in this event, there is no time to build momentum."
