DBU HEAD COACH BLAKE FLICKNER ON THE WIN
"I'm really proud of our guys. That's a tough game out of a break, but I think both teams had a little rust, but we had to grind. We did some things we haven't worked a ton on, but the guys listened and adjusted in the flow of the game and really showed a high level of maturity, so I'm really proud of that."
