Jacobson had his best game of the year and I was most encouraged by his defense.

Off the bat, everything started real well so we just built off that. And defense like we had, we didn't have any errors, so you can't be afraid to throw it in the strike zone and let them put it in play.

The defense won the game,

They played good defense, and we just couldn't put the ball in the basket.

I feel good about our defense, which is important considering our inexperience at the goaltending position.

We did what we needed to on defense to win. Tyler Harrington had an absolutely fabulous game at defensive end for us. He had three tackles for losses. David Mullen had two sacks and several hurries. Those hurries helped our defensive backs pick off four passes.
