COACH JON GIN'S COMMENTS
It was another great team win. Everyone was locked in and I thought our defense really showed up. We didn't shoot it particularly well, but our energy never wavered and our defensive intensity stayed the same throughout. I was really happy with how we came out of halftime. We shared the ball really well and executed our sets.
