Quotable
"We had an opportunity to play and practice quite a bit with the good weather (this winter). The Wexford Plantation Intercollegiate will be a great event to see where we are heading into the spring season and how much we have matured from the fall. We made a lot of mental mistakes (in the fall) and we can see how much we have learned." – Temple coach Brian Quinn
"This is the most talented team I have had, but we are young and inexperienced. Experience is the greatest teacher. If we go out there and keep getting reps, good things will happen." - Quinn
