COACH JON GIN'S COMMENTS

It was great to go into Christmas Break with a win. Our team responded really well after a tough one [a day earlier]. Our defensive intensity was really good in the first half. We still have to work on keeping that intensity up in the second half, but I'm excited we are making great strides and I'm excited about the second half of the season.
