Thoughts from Coach:

After the win, Head Coach Rusty Rogers stated, "All things considered, I thought we played pretty well.  Having been off for 26 days with only three practices, you'd expect to see the inconsistencies and lack of conditioning that we saw.  We gave it everything we had and I believe our depth really paid off!"
