FINAL WORDS FROM COACH GODWIN
"I felt like today we were in a heavyweight fight, and I was very proud of our guys. Every time they answered, we answered back, and it was like taking a punch and then delivering one back. I was very proud of our guys offensively and they stepped up. Hunter Shuey coming back and to do what he did on short rest was outstanding."
