Coach Blohm's Comments: "Our offense stepped up huge in this game. Santee is a very talented young team. They put the pressure on us defensively by knocking down five first quarter three-pointers. Offensively, we came out a little slow, but were able to take control immediately in the second half. A lot of players were able to contribute off the bench as well."
