Coach
Dan Gawrisch said, "I am proud of our effort and execution in all phases of the game. We came out with confidence on the offensive end and fought for quality shots to build a lead. We pushed the ball up the court and had good ball reversals vs their zone defense to create scoring opportunities. Our defensive energy and rebounding effort kept us in front once we built that lead. We were able to use our depth to wear them down over 40 minutes, which was also great because of the many MLC fans and family members that showed up to support us."
