"Tonight was a big region win over the #7 team in the country," Coach Goetsch said. "We knew we had to play physical and win on defense but also attack the paint and take it at their defense. John Clay had a solid night in his first start this year. AJ Ward had a big second half, and Christian Porter got eight boards from the point guard position. Tonight's game gives us two region wins in a row and we are ready to go get number three on Tuesday!"
