Quote of the Night:
"Our defense played spectacular tonight. If we can come out and affect the opposing teams offense like this every night, there is not a team in the league we cannot compete with and beat. Our bench was able to hold the lead tonight after the starters got out to a big lead and allowed for the starters to get some well deserved rest. It's sad to see a guy like Brent who works so hard go down tonight. I think I overheard the doctors saying something about straining his abdomen and he'd be out for the next few games until the stiffness goes away. We'll have to work even harder in his absence and I think we'll see Luther Head step up and play Brents role." - Von Wafer
