“There wasn’t a revenge factor. This was just another game to keep us alive,” Bobowski said. “We just had to win this game. We knew we had to come out fast and pick up the intensity. They had shut us down early when our offense wasn’t clicking, but we knew in the second half we would be able to pull it off.”
