Coach Gonyea's comments, " As we enter the post season, we explained to our squad at practice last night, nobody cares what we did all season, what successes, what failures, all that matters now is what we do today. All teams are 0-0 entering the tournament. We need to bring our best game because, as we all know, it's one and done. We have worked the past five months for this opportunity and prepared for this moment."
