It was a really good day for us. We played a top squad and really dominated. It was the perfect warm-up match -- they put a good side on the field, and we responded.

It's a sad day for us here.

We had fuel scheduled to be delivered yesterday (Monday) and the day before, and they actually told us that there is no fuel for us, ... So we went into our secondary mode, calling our back-up people. We were on the phone until 1 a.m. trying to schedule fuel to be delivered here.

It was a barn-burner right until the very end, and we managed to come out on top. That was the hardest defensive game that I have ever seen us play, and you could tell that we were really up to the challenge.

We really need to cut down on our own mistakes, use our heads, and start playing with discipline. Our success is predicated off of our defense. When we complete our tackles and capitalize on our opponent's mistakes, our offense benefits.

We shook off the rust early and had one of our better performances of the year.
