Thoughts from Coach Rutter
"Good win tonight.  We did a nice job setting the tone defensively in each half.  We were looking for each other on the offensive end as well.  We need to tighten up some things defensively to get ready for Saturday.  The Master's is explosive and one of the best offensive teams in the NAIA."
