DBU HEAD COACH CHIP DUTCHIK ON HIS TEAM'S PERESEVERANCE
"We talked about having a game plan and really sticking to it this week, even if things weren't going our way at times. We got the first goal, but then Newman kind of had their way for a bit, but we just stuck with it. Even though it wasn't happening for us, we just kept playing our way, and we knew eventually we'd break through."
