"They're hard to play against, but those are the teams you have to beat, and we found a way," head coach Tim Strange said. "These wins are big at the end of the season that can get us to the top of the conference. Teams like SBU always give us their best shot because it will be their best win of the season. We have six games left, four are at home so we're excited about that. We have some tough games ahead we will be ready."
