Head Coach Mike Biehl was proud of how his team rebounded after a tough few weeks going winless.

“I’m extremely proud of my guys for their ability to continue to go to work and get better even when the results aren’t what we want,” Biehl said. “These last three weeks, we’ve had great competition and haven’t been able to put a full game together so getting it done tonight was great for our team as a whole.”
The Saints look to carry the momentum into its idle week before traveling to take on Atlantic Shores Christian School on Sept. 29.
