Our upperclassmen have experience in big games. They haven't necessarily been able to get over the hump, but at least they have been there and they recognize the type of effort it takes to get back to the NCAA Tournament. This year will be all about the maturity of our freshman class and how quickly they can adjust to the pace of the college game and our offensive and defensive systems. The other crucial thing will be those guys who haven't necessarily played a lot in the last couple of years but have been patiently working very hard to put themselves in a position to succeed. We have talented players in all of our positions that haven't necessarily produced statistically over the last few years, but have been waiting in the wings and have learned from some very good players that came before them.
More Quotes from Jeff Tambroni:
Our staff and our team has waited for the opportunity to begin our 2006 journey since the moment we walked off the field in Princeton, N. J., following our loss to Duke in the NCAA tournament. It's been difficult knowing that other teams have been preparing and practicing already, so we are anxious to start.Jeff Tambroni
We don't want to take things for granted. We've just encouraged our guys to stay hungry day in and day out, to realize that each and every day you feel like you're moving towards the top and that stuff can be taken away within a matter of moments or a matter of 60 minutes in a lacrosse game. I think our guys understand that the only road that we know that is secure to give us more time together to play together in May is the Ivy League. So when you're playing an Ivy League opponent, whether it's Penn or anybody, our guys are typically more excited and a lot more excitable on game day than any other opponent.

Derek came back with a lot of confidence and we're expecting more leadership from him this season and I think he's capable of that.

He took the team on his back. The game was on the line and every time we needed a play he got the ball to the guy that should have it to score or he took it to the goal himself.

Obviously, Matt has a lot of experience. It will be important to us that he keeps our young defense intact early in the season.

I think everybody is capable of beating everybody else at this point. I don't think there's a team out there that I could actually say, 'we really want to face them,' because they all have something on their team that makes us nervous.
