Quote From Coach:
"It's always nice to win and three. First, I think we were siding out, siding out, siding out, going back-and-forth. Then I thought we really need some solid, defensive plays and I think that really helped us rest of the match we dug in transition the best we have all year. I just saw our best effort in all six rotations."
