MARCO DONADEL
« It was the mindset. Everybody was willing to help each other and to suffer a bit more. I think they deserved this win. This is an incredible demonstration of character and personality because it is not easy to come here with 8 points and play in this environment and put on such a performance. »
JALEN NEAL
« I am very proud of the work we put in. It is a harsh environment to play in, we are all tired from the game, the humidity played a big part, but we showed a lot of maturity in how we managed our energy and the match. I just wanted to contribute to the team as best as I can, and I was able to score this third goal and make it a lot harder for them. »
ALEKSANDER GUBOGLO
« I think there was a lot of motivation. We've worked hard over the last few weeks, and we gave it our all tonight, it was a good game. Although we were very solid defensively and offensively, it was the mentality that made the difference and helped us a lot. I'm ready to play in whatever position the coach wants me to play and help the team. »
