Tony Giordano's 3-pointers put an end to our comeback and turned the tide. Take your pick. All three were big.

I think (Bender) turned the tide.

We turned him into a lottery pick.

In the second period we turned the tide. We started doing the little things that make us successful. And that led to the big things, which is goals.

It was scary for a while, but somehow all three made a comeback and we won. It was exciting for the kids.

The financial tide finally turned to black in the spring of 2004 and has been on a winning streak ever since.
