FINAL SAY
"Every time we play Carleton they are a very athletic, very organized and well coached team, so our preparation was quite accurate. We knew the Ravens were on their 4th match, we knew that they would have some deficiency base on injuries and suspensions. Either way we were pleased with our guys,we executed as plan. The results were unfortunate as we felt like we could have deserved a win but we are really focused on out next battle against UOIT " - Christian Hoefler (Head Coach)
