Key Quote
Head Coach Drake Bernstein: "We talked a little bit - it may not have been our cleanest doubles today, but in the postseason, this whole thing turns into if you can find a way to make it happen. We did terrific today at one and three doubles. In terms of measuring progress throughout the year, I'm not sure if we'd be able to do that in February. It shows where this team has come from then to now."
