QUOTE FROM THE COACH"We finally clicked in the second half today. The team played together and everyone was playing with the same intensity. As we continue to grow, we will learn how to do that for an entire 70 minutes. This was a good final game in the NAC for us, it really shows us what we need to do to prepare for conference play next season, and proves we are capable of accomplishing what we want." Coach Gillis
