We all came here on scholarship — we're all Division I players. Before, when [non-starters] were in the game, they could just let the starters do their thing. But now everyone is stepping up and playing, and that's what we need.

Sometimes it?s tough in a game like this when you get out to a lead like that. Players go in and want to be a part of it right away.

I'm a very passionate person when it comes to this game. I want to give my players every ounce of energy that I have in my body, whether it's on the field or in a meeting.

Chris and the school getting that recognition of a scholarship to a Division I-AA program I think will be a huge boost to this program in the future.

That's the name of the game in the CBA, and you have to be prepared to fill voids when players move on. It was real big how our remaining players responded, and there was a chance that we could have splintered and fell apart, but we didn't. Our effort pushed us through for the win tonight.

But it depends also on the development of the game when we have substituted three players maybe who are on that first five, then we have to have our alternatives as well.
