We got a lot of people in the lineup and everyone who played did a great job. We got to play in the wind and heat and played well in those conditions as well. I’m really proud of the effort, the execution and the attitude that we had. It was an exciting first weekend for our team. Now we are looking forward to getting a good week of training before our first home event.”
