Quotable: Head Coach Jonathan Meade

"I'm proud of the team for battling today. We had to come from behind twice and that's not easy to do on the road against a solid team. It took our experience and our youth to do what we did today. As long as we stick together and work to improve each day, I think we have a lot to look forward to this year."
