THOUGHTS FROM COACH TED KRZYWIEKCI
"Our guys put in a complete performance today from the start to finish. I was happy to see them rewarded for the effort they put in. We are no doubt capable of performances like today when we are fully focused and committed to doing the right things on both sides of the ball. We know and believe we have something to build on in this group. We are looking forward to getting back home where we know most of our games are in Arizona or at home."
