Illinois College's head Coach: Shane Taylor
Kim Deal: This is your fourth season as the coach of Illinois College, how would you say the team's progress has been?
Shane Taylor: I think the team has progressed very well. We have had good retention and that often leads to success.
KD: Tomorrow may be the biggest game in your program's history. Do your players see the importance of tomorrow's game and what it means to your program?
ST: I am sure they do.
KD: You have ten players with multiple goals. Is that a result of your formation, your practices? How do you get so many people involved in your attack?
ST: We have some depth this year. This has led to several guys netting goals. It is an advantage to have multiple players ready to step up and score.
KD: For people who have not had a chance to watch you play this season, how do you generate your attack? Do you have a specific way of attacking that you prefer?
ST: We are fairly direct with our attack. We like to throw numbers forward and make the other team chase. If the other team is chasing us, we are doing our job offensively and they are not attacking us.
KD: What would you say the biggest win of the season has been to this point?
ST: I think every conference win for this program is a big win. There have not been many over the past 18 years.
KD: Last question! Can you give us a prediction for tomorrow's game?
ST: I don't have a prediction on the outcome. But I know our team will be confident and prepared when the whistle blows. We have been looking forward to this game and situation for a long time.
