Carrick Rangers manager Stephen Baxter praised the character of his squad during their 5-1 victory against Queen's University at Taylors Avenue in the Irish Cup fifth round.
Adam Lecky and Aidan Steele put Carrick ahead before Ronan Young pulled one back for the away side.
However, goals from Joe Crowe, Matthew Snoddy and Danny Gibson after the restart guaranteed it was Stephen Baxter's side who would advance to the next round.
"You saw the response of the team [from the 7-0 Glentoran loss] which was absolutely magnificent," Baxter told BBC Sport NI.
"How they passed the ball, how they got into great areas to score and then scored five and missed five.
"That tells you a lot about the character of the squad and we were able to get players who were hurt back into the squad and get two new players in which helps the squad."
The Premiership side will now host Coleraine at Taylors Avenue in the sixth round.
Queen's University manager James Lavery also praised Baxter's side and added that they "clicked" during the match.
"The third goal after 15 minutes in the second half really killed it for us and it was a bit too far at that point," said Lavery.
"I am proud of the players. I think we gave a good account of ourseleves.
"Full credit to Carrick, they were very, very good. It is a great squad of players, but I think it really clicked for them today."
