BLAKE FLICKNER ON THE PATRIOTS' SELFLESSNESS
"Today was a game for tough guys. Cameron played well, but I love the response from our team. It's hard to win on the road in the LSC, and we never want to take that for granted. Really proud of our grit. The guys are having fun, which shows in their effort and selflessness on the court. We're excited to get back home and looking forward to some energy from the Patriots faithful this week in the Burg."
