>> WHAT THE COACH SAID: "Guys are playing the best ball they've played in my two years here. The guys can feel it. Everybody's in great spirits. We stuck to our process to get us here. Through injuries, through off the field losses — these guys have followed everything we've asked of them. It's just beautiful to watch. Their playing great. To their credit, the last three weeks they've found a way to compete. Guys came out with the intensity to get a result. We had to find a way to score within the group and these guys figured it out. Every member of the team contributed. We built a good foundation going into the offseason, going into the next year." — Head coach Jon Evan
