Head Coach Mark Goetsch shared his thoughts on his team's performance: "Good win for us to begin the second semester. I thought the guys played with good energy in the first half. We thought we would pound the ball inside early and that would open up the outside game, but just the opposite happened. The outside shots were available early and that eventually opened up the inside game for Deric Woods. Deric played a nice complete game with 21 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists. Dakota Pratt owned the defensive glass pulling 14 rebounds."
