SKCvSTL Quotes: "These are games that you want to watch as a spectator"
It's a game that I expected the way it would be. It would be intense. These games will continue to take on that life as we move forward. So from that perspective it was fine. I don't really think we gave up a lot in the game, to be honest with you, other than I don't know what Tim (Melia) was doing on that goal kick in the second half. Other than that, everything else was pretty much back and forth with both teams. The goalkeeper made a great save on the tip on Tim (Leibold) in the first half with his right foot, which I've never seen him do before (but he did) finally. The fact that we came back was good. We had a good mentality to do that. I think after we scored the goal, maybe we missed a little bit of push, but I think you have got to take into consideration we've had a lot of games. The guys have expended a lot of energy. I do thank the Gods today because the weather was very helpful, for sure, because if it would have been a hot day, I think it would have affected us a lot and maybe them as well. I don't know. But us a lot just because of the number of games.
