Our girls have been through it before. They know what they have to do. They managed to stay calm. We believed we were going to win. That's a sign of a team with character.

The girls were saying they were still a little tired. I told them they still have one more game. The girls were happy with how they played and executed.

I'm a firm believer that these two teams are well matched. I believe Grand Forks is a big rival for Minot. They come out ready to play. The key is matching their intensity.

The biggest problem for us was staying out of the penalty box. We were never able to get into a rhythm. If we would stay out of the penalty box we would score more goals.

The first goal we scored was huge. Once we got the first goal we had life. We believed we were going to win that game. Most of these girls are veterans and every year we have been through overtime.

We'll just play our normal game. Traditionally, what we've done against them is roll our lines and just be aware of those two players. But at the same time, we don't want to change what we do.
