SLUSARCZYK PERSPECTIVE

• "Tonight was another mental battle." said Senior Tim Slusarczyk. "We came off a huge week of beating ranked opponents so it's easy to pat yourself on the shoulder and say we've done enough. However, championship teams don't let off the gas and it showed tonight. We brought the energy off the bench and I couldn't be more proud of this group of guys. We keep pushing and now look to a huge game on Saturday.
