It's a nice thing to have a player like Andrew Ward in the back. You just feel confident with him back there. He definitely just brings a little calm to the whole defense.

We played well right away. We were moving the ball around pretty well. I'm very pleased with the first 15 minutes.

Two more wins. That's what we were telling them before the game: 'Forget the regular season. We've got a three-game season right now we've got to focus on.' I think they've got it in mind to get back to the state finals again, to see if they can do it.

We had several opportunities -- we didn't have a ton of shots on goal -- but the opportunities we had were really high-quality opportunities that we couldn't finish. I think this game really easily could have been a 3-, 4-, 5-nothing game.

The guys are getting almost a little picky with their shots -- they just needed to pull the trigger when they got in front of the goal there.

Their keeper made a lot of really good saves.
