COACH SPEAK
"It was another hard-fought game in which we needed a full team effort to come away with a win," head coach Benji Walton said. "This was no easy place to play and I thought our players did a good job of solving the game and finding a way to get a result. Overall, to go on the road and get two wins is terribly difficult, and for us to do that is huge as we move forward."
