Coach's Corner: “I thought Brook and Jonathan’s three at the end of the third and beginning of the fourth quarter were huge. They finally opened the game up for us and gave us a little breathing room. Ben Scheef had a really good game for us. It was a really nice win over a very solid Conference team.” --Coach Scheef
