Mullins said they will celebrate the win. “Yeah, it’s special. It’s hard to believe really.”
“We were pinching ourselves the whole way around for the second circuit. It was so smooth and no, thankfully it just was very good and it’s just, pinch yourself stuff.”
“We have plenty of plans for the rest of the week, but no, we’re definitely going to celebrate this. It’s hard to put it into words.”
