"We keep building and we keep getting better and to do it on the fourth game in seven days feels good because it shows our character, it shows a lot that this team can do, and we pushed ourselves over the line today," head coach TJ Perez said of career win No. 1.
"I think today was just getting back to what we were been doing, we've been building, our possession’s gotten better, our attack has gotten better; I said let's keep going on that."
