It's always nice to get a win. Whenever you can sweep a season series, it's always nice.

I kind of got on Katie. The whole thing was mental, but it all came together for her this weekend. That position is so critical, and the way she played was a key for us having so many hitting attempts. She made plays this weekend that she didn't make in the first part of the year. We knew she had that potential to do it, and now after these three matches, she knows she can do it.

That helps our team so much to have that kind of support. It was great. I think it makes a difference on a few points every match to have support like that coming from your home crowd.

Ball control-wise, I think they (Bemidji) had to use their left side a little bit more tonight. They were really effective on the right side and in the middle against us in Bemidji. It didn't seem like they were able to hit a lot and I think the reason for that was because the pass wasn't up to the net where they have a little bit of a height advantage on us. So that was a positive for us.

We typically don't play very well up here for whatever reason. I don't think any of our players have ever won here before tonight. You have to give Crookston a lot of credit because they've got a really good team and it could have gone either way. But I'm really proud of our girls. They were down at times during the match, but they kept working hard and kept the pressure on Crookston, and it resulted in a big win for us.

She is sorely missed here.
