Coach's Corner
Head Coach Dante Calabria said "I'm extremely happy with the way we played tonight. We got the ball out, we made the extra pass, and we defended tough and strong. We kept them to 20 points in the first half and even fewer in the second half, so I am very proud of our effort. I thought the guys played well, and very unselfish, doing the things we need to do to win more games."
