THEY SAID IT
Head coach Richard Moodie
- On Florida State: "We want to expose our student-athletes to the best of the best and you certainly get that in Florida State. They're well-coached, organized and so much quality talent. We know it's going to be a tough game for us. It's a game that if you do get a hold of the ball you need to look after it, and if not you have to be on your best defense."

- On the newcomers: "We have more newcomers than returners and I think our last two matches helped us with them. We want them to see the level we want to compete at and rise to the challenge."

- On the offense's production: "I think the stats highlight the players so far. Teams can see we have multiple scorers, but we want to see who can show up against the big dogs and be fearless. Right now our team should be fearless and full of confidence after our start to the season."
