WHAT WAS SAID ABOUT THE GAME

“Probably most of the teams (they’ve played), they kind of dropped back and played a lower block. I don’t think that’s going to be the type of game we’re going to face at Toronto, so we have to be ready to really be good in possession and disrupting lines. And that’s going to be the test for our team.” – Pineda

“We’re really training hard on the tactical side (for) this game. And, we match up well with Toronto. They’re a good squad even though some of their results haven’t been as good. They just won 4-0 (on Wednesday) against a great Montreal team. So we’re not taking this game lightly at all. And we’re going to use our tactics and the momentum that we had coming from the great win against Miami into this one.” – Brooks Lennon
