We got things done at the right time tonight. Every time we went down we kept our composure and got back into the game. We were able to get a lead and sustain it.

We didn't give them a chance to do that, now they have to do it somewhere else. We had an extra incentive to beat them and that gave us a great lift. We just did everything right tonight.
