Head Coach Scott Marr: "Tough start. I think we played a little tentative in the first half, but we talked at halftime about committing to our actions: running hard, throwing the ball hard. Not playing tentative, committing to the game… We really showed ourselves what we can do when we commit to our actions… No moral victories, but that's a top 10 team. I thought we played really tough."
