Head Coach Dylan Murphy:
“Really tough to beat a team twice in a row. Obviously, Greensboro has had the season they’ve had for a reason. Defensively they’re really tough. We know we’ll see them again. Reggie Perry will get healthy. For us, we feel like we’re playing well at the right time and just have to keep building. We look at the standings every day like everyone else and it’s so compact. You win two, you’re at the top. You lose two you drop out of the playoffs. So, every game matters.”
