Thoughts from Coach Berry
"Life Pacific was very impressive tonight. They played with a short bench due to injuries but every player played their hearts out. They beat us on the boards and they played tough from the beginning of the game to the final buzzer."
"We came out a little lackadaisical in the first quarter and then started to pull it together late in the second quarter. We pretty much owned the second half and pulled away for the win."
"It was another road win in the GSAC and I'll take it. Every game you win on the road in this conference is big. Now we have to get ready for a very good Hope team this Saturday."
