In Their Own Words
Head Coach Paul Lawrence when asked about
"This is the most complete performance we have had all year. It's a sign of a growing team to come back after scoring early in the first. I honestly think we have been unlucky in some games, but I knew we needed a complete performance and I'm glad it came tonight. We have been down after losing four games straight so we are finally turning things around."
