Rock Island coach Thom Sigel: "(Moline's) roles have been defined, and they're running their stuff better. They've gotten better and are playing at home. We need to be focused, execute and do a lot of little things. That's what you've got to do on the road." Moline coach Jeff Schimmel: "We've been playing with a lot of confidence, but we're trying to stay humble. We know what's coming at us. We know it's a team that beat us by 30." -- By Daniel Makarewicz, danmak@qconline.com
