The Mustangs started hot and had a 35-22 lead at the half before Vanoss knew what hit them. The second half was a back-andforth affair with the Mustangs came out with the 65-56 win. “Those are the kind of games we need, fastpaced, up and down the court shootouts. I thought we played with a lot of confidence, the ranking plus the fact that they had beaten us earlier in the season didn’t seem to intimidate us at all. We kept our cool and played our game. We are definitely happy with the win, but we aren’t satisfied. We need to continue progressing and getting better every game”, said Coach Greg Mills.
