While I never like hearing lose from a coach in any sentence, I believe I understand where he's coming from in the upcoming match against Stanford at home

"We're excited to play Stanford. Win or lose, were going to play our style, we're going to attack and we're going to press. They are one of the best teams in the country, and if we lose, we lose, but were going to lose playing hard and going after them, not sitting back."

Saint Mary's will host the No. 1 team in the country, the Stanford Cardinal on Sunday. The match against the nation's top team will kick-off at 1 p.m. from Saint Mary's Stadium.
