North Carolina vs. SMU - Postgame Quotes
Head Coach Elmar Bolowich
"In this game, it seems to be a standard now, we're playing we're playing, we're getting the shots and we're still tied at the end of regulation and we're still tied at the end of overtime. But overall in the game itself I think we played better than the previous two matches. I think we took the initiative, SMU was an outstanding team, they were well-organized, individually great players on the field. They closed down. They could get out of tight situations. They really didn't give us much. And the first goal that we scored right after they put one in was really what lifted us up because at that time we had little to show and Enzo (Martinez) broke free on the outside and Kirk (Urso) broke free and made the first shot."
"We have a great senior group that is stepping up at the right moment. They're playing their part."

"It was tremendous. They gave us momentum when we needed it. They brought an extra adrenaline rush for me and the rest of the players. Just helped us. They were the 12th man for us."
Kirk Urso on outshooting SMU
"It's frustrating but at the same time we are creating opportunities. We're just trying to stay focused and keep telling each other the next one is going in."
"They were tough to beat. We both know we are fighting to get to the College Cup and we were both going all out."
SMU Head Coach Tim McClements
"It is a fourth seed vs a fifth seed game, I think both teams should be applauded for trying to play good soccer. UNC is a very talented team and it was everything it should be in this match. I don't think it was dirty by any means, it was just a tough game, and we came out on the wrong end of it. When you look back on it we are all disappointed but it was a hard-fought game."
