The players responded really well. They were in a bad situation. Our players never quit. I told them that they need to forget about their wins and learn something from their losses. I think they all listened and played a lot harder and smarter.

It helps to have seniors. Every game like this comes down to tie-breakers and pressure. Some went our way and some didn't, but everybody did the best they could.

I was pleased that the players chose to learn from the loss instead of complaining and blaming things they could not control.

We have continued to make progress over the last two matches. It is very encouraging.
