I know you always want to look forward but just capsulate a little bit of the group that graduated last year (Thomas Allen, Klay Davis, Tyler Gibson, Aidan Kirkbride, Will Mayhew and Anthony Perez) and what they meant to the program? We graduated some fine young men. They had stellar careers here and they really set the standard of what we expect. They left the program certainly in better hands than when they found it. Last year’s seniors won three conference champion- ships, made the NCAA Tournament three of the four years and obviously had that great run in 2011 to the College Cup Championship game. The challenge now is for the new group of players and the players who played with them is to take the program on to bigger and better things. They left behind a fantastic legacy; a legacy of a strong work ethic, blue-collar togetherness and pride in wearing the Charlotte Jersey and we thank them for that. Your overall thoughts or expectations on the season or goals. The goals we have on the locker room walls are clear. We want to be an Elite Eight team every season and we want to be Conference USA Champions. We have fell a bit short these past two seasons despite some wonderful achievements. The guys who are returning have a real appetite to come back and do even better this year. I know we were Atlantic 10 defending champs for several years but now we are the defending Con- ference USA champs. Is the mindset a little different this year? Our motivation will not necessarily be to defend the title but to pursue another title. You want to look forward. If what you did yesterday still looks The 49ers captured the 2013 Conference USA Tournament big to you, then you haven’t done much today. We have to really attack it and go after it again. Other teams title. might be slightly more motivated to play us but our challenge is to get up to play every team. We’re excited, it’s a wonderful conference. We get to play great teams with great facilities. The team that wins either the regular season or the championship in this conference truly deserves it. That is what we are aiming for. What are your thoughts on the schedule? I know we play six teams that made the NCAA’s last year but there are four or five teams beyond that who normally are regular NCAA tournament teams so you could say we almost played double figure NCAA tournament teams this year so what is your thought on our schedule? Every year we set our schedule up to play the best teams in the region and the nation. Last year’s schedule, I believe, was top 10 in the country and this year’s schedule won’t be far behind Let’s look at our goalkeepers. It will be different this year without four year starter, Klay Davis, but we’ve re- turned some guys with experience. What is your thought on that group? We knew that last year’s senior class was a big group that we were going to lose so we really worked hard these last two years to overlap players in our program. Austin Pack has been waiting patiently for his time to play and he has worked extremely hard these past two years.
