Gardy's Gab: "I was pleased with our overall effort. We shot the ball pretty well and actually had one of our better defensive efforts of the season tonight. Schoolcraft is a good team and we know they rebound the ball well. I was pleased we were able to hold our own on the glass. It was a good overall team effort. We'll enjoy a little break right now before getting ready for a rematch with Niagara. They are a good team and we'll need to be prepared."
