COACH JON GIN'S COMMENTS
It feels good to get back into the win column. I thought our bench really showed up [on Wednesday]. It was great to see our team rally and overcome a late push by Defiance. Their zone gave us a lot of trouble early on. I thought we did a much better job in the second half of attacking gaps and finding the open shooter. Our shooters hit big shots and we got some key defensive stops when we needed them most.
