COACH CARTER COLLINS'S COMMENTS
I'm proud of the way that our team responded to adversity [on Saturday] - several different times. We talked all game about how one of the two teams were going to need to string some stops together to get the victory, and we were able to do that midway through the second half. Then, when Kalamazoo made a run of its own, we were able to stay composed in the final few minutes and close out the game. It was a great weekend for us with two wins against high-quality teams, and we'll look to continue our success this coming weekend over at Illinois College.
