Recap |  Box Score

Rafael Baca - LMU sophomore midfielder
(On what is different this year from last year)
"The chemistry of the team is much different. Everything is more positive and all the guys don't give up. Last year if a team scored on us we were not going to be able to come back. This year, we've got plenty of ways to come back."

Logan McDaniel - LMU freshman midfielder
(On his goal)
"Stephen Carlson made a run inside and opened me up. It was actually a cross and it ended up going in the goal. I was feeling pretty unlucky throughout the whole game and something finally fell my way."

Paul Krumpe - LMU Head Coach
(On battling back from a goal down)
"We came back. We took a very unorthodox goal and were able to respond. I'm pleased at the work rate, the effort and the focus of the entire team. They stayed in the moment for the entire game. Last year we found ways to lose games. We would have pressed and pressed and pressed and not put that goal away.

(On opening the season with a tie)
"We finished last year with one tie and here we've tied our first game. We're already starting off better than where we were last year, but we're so young and have so much to improve on. It's going to be an exciting year."
