Thoughts from Coach:

"We're really looking forward to seeing how we come back and play the same team again this week.  We played well against them last week, so it will be very interesting to see how we do against them.  Last year we did not play very well in similar situations, so hopefully we can overcome those mental mistakes and play well.  This will be a really good test for us and I am anxious to see how we respond."
