Wake Forest Head Coach Rick Rembielak
Overall thoughts of the game...
"I didn't really know what to expect. It's a good way for the seniors to go out and kind of unique to end the season with a win. I like the way we played, it's just too bad we didn't play like that all year. I wish we would have. I wish Virginia and Miami the best. It's going to be a good Championship day tomorrow."
On the play of Brad Kledzik...
"I think consistency has been a thing with him. Today, he was lights out and he had all his points of control. He was getting all the pitches over and he was working ahead of hitters. That's a good sign for us because he's a junior and he's coming back for us."
On what the tournament showed him about next year's team...
"It's an everyday challenge and I think if the guys put their minds to it. You can accomplish what you want to and in this game you can't let up especially in this league here, it's a great league. I think the thing is just to think about tonight, how we played, how we swung the bats, how we pitched on the mound. It should definitely carry over to next year.
Virginia Head Coach Brian O'Connor
Overall thoughts on the game...
"Obviously, you go into every game wanting to win. However, the most important game of this week is tomorrow - the title game against Miami. I'm happy that we're in it. We secured it by winning the first two ballgames against Florida State and North Carolina, and we're looking forward to a good match-up tomorrow."
On expectations on Sunday's title game...
"We're running out Pat McAnaney, who pitched very well at Miami earlier in the season. I expect a great game. Obviously, Miami's got a tremendous offensive ball club. They've got a lot of veteran players and we're going to have to play very well to have a chance to win a championship."
On playing past 1 a.m. on Sunday morning against Wake Forest...
"It's a late night. Obviously, the championship game starts in 12 hours from now, so it's unfortunate how the schedule worked out. It's part of the tournament and you have to deal with it. The players will be fine. You have a chance to win an ACC championship tomorrow, it doesn't matter how much sleep you get."
