Our preparation and consistency in practice has led to success in games. It's taken three years for the team to find that consistent level, and right now they have it.

While daily practice slowly builds a habit that will last a lifetime, intense sporadic practice only builds a result.

We kind of know what we can expect, and we have worked on our mental preparation in practice because that will be important for a victory.

They're a complete team. They've won some games and they've got some consistency and that's exactly what we want.
