“We’ve got a long way to grow…”—APU HC Victor Santa Cruz
(Some quotes from Thursday night’s win over Grand Valley)
Victor Santa Cruz on the win:
“I think this is the beginning and its got to be the beginning. It’s game one and we want to be able to celebrate this, but we have a long ways to grow…a long ways to grow. The big thing always is how do you go from week one to week two, and thats where as coaches and players we’re just going to challenge ourselves to get better.”

Defensive Coordinator Cesar Rivas-Sandoval on his defense:
“First of all it’s not my defense, it’s our defense, and it was great. I could not ask for anything more.”
Victor Santa Cruz on the Cougar defense:
“They’re young energetic, they’re full of life, and it’s such a pleasure to coach them. They enable us to create a variety of different pressure schemes, they take whatever we ask of them in the game plan and they get after it. So it’s outstanding.”
