Head Coach Benny Flores said, "I am excited that the boys got the victory night. They played hard and earned it. We are still in the process of learning to play to our talent level. We started slow and it took some time to get our legs under us but they worked through it. It was a great start for Victor and Raul. Victor was dynamic and could have scored a few more times. Raul came through when our team needed a lift. He is going to be a very special player for us."
