We were motivated and challenged, that's for sure.

You do spend a lot of time walking and not finding them. You can't let that make you not believe.

We needed to generate some offense. You can't score without getting some shots on net.

All that matters is that we are in a championship for the fourth time in five years. It is amazing.

It's never easy with this team. Maybe we don't have the same skill level as last year's team, so it is always a constant battle. This game did personify who we are. Things were tight and close. There's still great satisfaction of where we are and what we have accomplished.

I think that the administration felt our numbers were going to be down and that Class A would be the best place for us. Although I was not happy with the decision, we are a very small school.
