COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Head Coach Dick Edell:
"After yesterday I knew we we're going, it was just a matter of evaluating the results. I feel for our seniors last year, because every Maryland senior class should have an experience like this. This is as good as it gets in our sport."

"Hoftsra is a quality program. They're playing really well right now at the best time of the year, but I think we're playing pretty well too."

Senior Midfielder Brian Zeller:
"When I was a freshman and sophomore we made the championships, and after not making the playoffs last year when we kind of expected to, it feels really good to be back. Usually we'll make the playoffs and good things start happening."

Junior Midfielder Chris Malone:
"Our goal this year was to get in, get back to the tournament, and we did that. I'm really psyched --- we all are and we're ready to get practicing."
