Key Quotes:
Head Coach/GM Bob Hamley:
"It was nice to clinch a playoff spot last night but tonight was definitely huge for us. You definitely want to be going into the playoffs on a hot streak and right now we're playing our best lacrosse of the season. We've got momentum on our side and we're looking forward to next week's showdown with Portland."
Goaltender Mike Miron (38 saves on the night):
"The guys in front of me played outstanding tonight. My job is a lot easier when our defense is playing like that so I definitely have to give them a lot of credit. It's nice to play well to close out the regular season, but we've got to get focused and get ready for the Lumberjax next weekend."
