Coach Blohm's comments: "As a team, we took a big step defensively in this game. We were able to hold Cedar Bluffs to one field goal the entire game. Offensively, we had a lot of good looks under the basket that would not fall. It is important that we improve on taking care of the ball as well. Overall, a great team effort to get the win".
