"I guess when I'm 70 years old it'll be important to me," Thompson said. "Right now I feel the responsibility to get this thing done for the seniors that are here and the guys that have played -- all those guys that have played before to build this thing."

Gouveia also touched on the importance of the game and said the team is prepared.

"As far as being ready, I think we're ready to go," Gouveia said.
