What they have represented makes a win against them very special. We have tremendous respect for them. We also know that one win doesn't make a statement. You have to do things over time. Santa Barbara's the team that's done it over time.

Our view on it is simply with what we know of Mattoon. We compete against them in a few sports already. Our boys' soccer teams play. Our baseball teams play. Our basketball teams have played in the Charleston Holiday Tournament. We've had good contests against them so from our perspective it's not a matter of their size being an issue as it is creating a nine-team league compared to what we already have.

Our matches is definitely going to be tough against a side which has experienced players and has been together for some years.

The shooters showed consistency and stood up well against the strong England defenders.

In some ways, winning a (close) game like this against a team that's been really hot at home, is maybe a better game for us right now than to control it from start to finish like we have in recent games. It shows us we can win on the road in a tight situation.
