THEY SAID IT
"We’ve won four of the last five and I think we’re on a little roll here. Losing is a habit and winning can be a habit too…we’re starting to get it a little bit, I think. We’re starting to get a little confidence in our ability. When we get into trouble we have too many turnovers, we’re limiting those turnovers lately and we’re starting to have some success.” —Head Coach Mark Sweeney
