Quotes of the Match

Opening Statement
"We came out much sharper today than we did yesterday. On day one, there is usually a little bit of jitters to get through and you are playing in front of the home crowd for the first time and our marketing department did a good job of filling the stands. Today was a little bit different for us. We knew what it was going to be like and it made things a little bit easier. Today, we were really just more sharp."
