Maturbin Isdurte
We can't overemphasize just how important close wins like this are for locker room chemistry. Persevering in the face of adversity and triumphing as a tight-knit group... we expect Maturbin Isdurte to carry some positive momentum into Week 5.

Listen, we've been in this business long enough to realize that occasionally, three extra points will just instantly appear out of nowhere... and then in some cases, like this week, they won't! In the grand scheme of things, the most important thing is that you tried. Keep your head held high, Da Comets!
