COACH O'BRIEN'S COMMENTS
"Great win for the boys today! We really challenged them this week to come out here and get two good results. We knew this weekend was important for us to gain some momentum before getting into our conference matches, and the guys really answered the call with their energy and level of play. We were loud and did an excellent job of supporting each other and that really made the difference. Really happy with how they competed, and excited to keep the momentum going."
