COACHES COMMENT: Head Coach
Josh Petrusma, "Ahead of the game, we talked a lot about how difficult it is to beat a team 4 times in a season, especially one as talented as PNW. They have a really strong team and I know that every game with them is going to be a hard-fought battle. We faced some real adversity in the game. I loved our compete and ability to stay on mission no matter the score or situation."
