Coach Stauffer's Comments:  "I felt we really put together a solid 90 minutes today and controlled possession from the start.  It's always a tough place to play, but I thought we did a really good job of executing our game plan and getting the result we needed.  We got some really good minutes from our reserve group today, which will help in building our depth as we continue closer to postseason."
