Last night’s win truly proved you win as a team and lose a team. Both teams were playing on a high level, but something had to give.

It was war out there. We knew this would be no cakewalk. I'm proud of this team. We showed a lot of heart. We definitely brought our A game.

I think we proved once and for all, you don’t win a race on paper. On any given day any team is capable of beating another team. Last night the breaks went our way.

But give the French team a lot of credit. We beat a very good squad today.

In the end, we did our talking in the pool. We gave 110% effort, left everything in the water and took care of business.
