Coach Blohm's Comments: "It was hard fought victory. We need to play more consistent on both ends of the floor. As coaches, we communicate to do the little things, and the big things will take care of itself. There were times where we did not do this and gave up offensive rebounds and missed shots around the hoop. Overall, we came out with a much needed win that will hopefully give us momentum going into break."
