We got a lot of scoring from a lot of different people tonight. We had some people come off the bench tonight and give us a lift.

It was a good test for us. We got down early, but we were able to work our way back.

It was a back-and-forth game the entire way. We just weren't able to make the plays down the stretch. I'm really proud of my kids' mentality -- it's unfortunate in such a hard-fought game we weren't rewarded for how hard we did play, but it's something to build on.
