YAAAHHH!!! Congrats!
A long walk before bed has always helped Scooter so I bet the exercise was key!
Also, don't want to disappoint you, but don't expect too much right away, your pup is really young, and Scooter was off and on for accidents in the crate when he was 13-15 weeks old. Even last week at 19 weeks old he had an accident, though that was really rare and it's because it was raining on our walk and he didn't feel like going in the rain...
But congrats and don't feel too bad for accidents at that age! Once they understand your schedule they'll learn really fast that if they go before bed they don't have to sleep in it! Good luck!
