QUOTE BOARD: HEAD COACH J.J. RIEHL
"We talked earlier in the week about the need for us to find our energy and our enthusiasm, and something that was uniquely us. I think that was the biggest thing. You saw a lot more smiles on faces than you've seen in a while. I think you also saw a lot more energy, a lot more excitement, and a lot more enthusiasm, and that just trickled on down. The kids really executed today, but I think the biggest thing is just seeing the passion, excitement, and joy that we've been missing."
