"Winning in front of the home crowd is always exciting, always a good feeling and always a good win. It just gives everyone confidence, and I just think that it is a great environment for our athletes to be able to show off all of the hard work that they have been putting in day in and day out, during preseason and in practice." – head coach Sara Spielvogel on winning at home
