Thoughts from Coach Carlisle
"Proud of the guys for handling their business today. We knew Jessup was going to come to play and we did not have our usual energy after the flight up, but we locked in when we needed to and put games away when we had our chances. It was fun to play against Coach Tolson and to see the progress he is already made there. He has got a very solid team and I know they are going to be a force very soon so this will be a fun match every year."
