QUOTE(S) TO NOTE:

[td=align: center]

"If you're going to have a chance, you're going to have to string together wins and you've got to go on some sort of streak or some sort of run. We really hadn't done that up until this point. We're creeping up on the halfway point of the season so our guys realize what's in front of us and they realize with each passing day you want to continue to gain momentum and move forward."
