Neither team was really controlling the tempo. I think I was getting sleepy on the sideline watching a lot of this game. Our guys were just really tentative.

(Coston) did a tremendous job tonight.

Our whole focus is just winning that first game. We've struggled in the first game lately. We need that first one to stay in the winner's bracket.

It was a great complete game for him.

That was like a carbon copy of the last time we saw them. It was just too much like how it went over at our place to not have a little feeling of déjà vu.

This sets a nice rhythm for us. We feel good about executing our game, but we know the next team is a different story. They do things a little bit differently. What this does is it maintains the confidence level we came in here with.

For three quarters we did a lot of great things. Sometimes you win the game early. I think that's what we did.

Our kids remained very disciplined.

Our kids needed to win on the first day. It's been three years since we were able to win that first game. I think this is just our maturity showing up. We have a lot of seniors here playing in their final games and that showed.
