"I just told them they come a long way. They've improved tremendously since the first of the year," Leusink said. "The offense is really starting to click. The defense held (Steve) Schmidt, one of the leading rushers in the conference, down really well tonight (44 yards on 13 carries). You couldn't fault them for the effort. They gave everything they had. They left it all out there."
