Wake Forest Coach Jay Vidovich
"We created a lot of opportunities. On the stat sheet, we had twice as many shots, twice as many corners. We had more opportunities, we just didn't finish. We talked about that before the game. We thought it would come down to who did a better job of finishing their chances. We came up a little short."
Wake Forest junior goalkeeper William Hesmer
"We didn't really give them many chances but they finished them."
Wake Forest junior midfielder Brian Carroll
"We know that if we don't finish our opportunities, it will come back to bite us. Tonight, it did."
Clemson head coach Trevor Adair
"I'd first like to congratulate Wake Forest for their outstanding season. They are a very good team and they had a great season."
"I told the players that someone would step up (in the postseason). Tonight, it was Brett (Branan)."
"Penalties are a horrible way to win or lose a game. We always want to decide it on the field."
"I felt we were fortunate tonight. They had more possession throughout the game. But that's what it takes -- luck and chemistry."
Clemson sophomore midfielder Brett Branan
"The first goal was off a free kick. I headed the ball and it came back and landed in front of me. I just hit it in for the goal. The second goal... I don't know how I won it. There were three defenders that went up with me. One of them hit it straight up and then I was able to knock it in."
"When we went out for overtime, I knew we'd win the game."
