I knew I had to come out in the second half and help my team out. I was feeling it, so I just kept shooting. I wasn't shy at all.

I got a text message from (ISU assistant) coach (Todd) Fitch that said 'Congratulations, today is the day you've been waiting for' and it really has been. I'm finally a part of the Cyclone family. I guess I was before, but now I really am part of the team. It's a great day.

Home-court advantage and a bye sounds good to me. It definitely feels good to win games this late in the season as opposed to when we started off rough.

We were trying to do too much at times. Fort Dodge wants to play an up-tempo game and push it, and we kind of got sucked into that. We were forcing things. We need to do a better job of sticking to our stuff and doing what we want to do.

I thought we did a good job in the second half to get out and pressure them and not let them get into a rhythm and knocking the ball around in the midfield, which they like to do.

I thought the PK was pretty clear cut. Josh did well and drew the foul. But we can't rely on that. We've got to be better and can't count on the referee to get it right. We still have to come out, and if we don't get a couple of goals, still find a way to win.
