QUOTE OF THE GAME
"It was a good win. This is a very good team that always plays hard and they didn't quit. I think we controlled and managed the game well. I think it's going to be just consistency for us, and I think we were better tonight than we were over the weekend. We just have to come back on Saturday and play because we have not really put two games together back-to-back and that's going to be an issue for us." – Head coach Doug Elder
