Head Coach Jeremy Kennedy on the win, "It was good one for us, its always good when you can take one from one of the schools in the area. Andres was really the difference. He did a good job with this start. He is not a starter for us but we know he can get outs and he did more than we needed tonight. The game was a sloppy one but we got the job done and sometimes thats all that matters."
