COACH ADEDUNTAN'S COMMENTS

"We earned everything that we got. Not just thinking things were going to happen for us. We have to be the ones that put ourselves in a position to make plays. Offensively and defensively we continued to play for each other. I think we did an excellent job with that overall today.

"We will be excited to play [this week]. This week is a quick turnaround with us playing on both Wednesday and Saturday. We are grateful for the opportunity to play and we will be ready to go."
