DBU HEAD COACH CHIP DUTCHIK ON A COMPLETE TEAM EFFORT
"I think it was a good team win, and why I say that is because we were able to play a lot of players, and the level of play didn't drop. We were able to do the same thing, whether it was the starting group or the next group that came in. That's really a credit to the guys and how hard they've trained this week, every single one of them. It's a focus that the guys have, and we really played with a purpose. We really came out hard and fast, and just played with a different purpose the second half."
