Alex was fabulous. We know we've got a great goalie; Alex gives our defense confidence.

I understand why he can do both (offense and defense) because he's an amazing athlete. He's agile, with great feet and great quickness.

We have a lot of confidence in our defense and when you're scoring offensively, they both feed off of each other.

We needed one stop, and we had confidence we could get that stop. It's what we preach all year, defense and rebounding.

The offense did OK against a solid defense. There is a gain of confidence.

I really like good defense. You carry confidence (on defense), and when you go to the plate, it carries over.
