COACH GERRY STANFORD’S COMMENTS:

“There was a lot of fight in this team; they didn’t want to see this season end and they didn’t want it to come to an end. They kept fighting, fighting and fighting the whole game. They gave us a chance and kept playing at a high level, as much as they could to get as much as they could out of this game and season.”
