We needed a win, we’ve beaten ourselves so hard for such a long time, that it feels good to be able to take a breath and be proud of our performance for a while. We’re going to take a step back for a little bit and relax, but then at 4 o’clock today we’re going back to work. We’re going to continue focusing on our roles and on our improvements. I have high hopes for the team,” said Coach Thomas
