Damon Severson on the team's win: "We found a way, we knew we had to grind, and raise our levels - Having a higher standard, each person, if each individual does their job, then you have the higher standard. Things are going to go your way... hasn't gone our way for most of the season - But tonight, it feels a lot better."
