QUOTABLE
Head Coach Richie Riley:
"Our guys found a way to get a road sweep, which is huge this time of year. It felt like we had moments where we played really well, and then we had some times where we didn't play quite good enough. But, we led tip to finish and were able to finish the job on the road against a good team. They are one of the top five teams in our league right now. It's always hard to come and win here, but our guys really responded, you know. They did an unbelievable job on the glass as a committee."
