DBU HEAD COACH BLAKE FLICKNER ON GETTING EXTRA MINUTES FOR HIS BENCH
"It's really fun when everybody gets a chance to play and everybody gets a chance to score. Especially in the springtime, you don't get many opportunities to get a break in the conference schedule. I thought the guys responded well. They stayed focused, they didn't take our opponent lightly, and came in and executed the game plan."
