FINAL SAY?
"We were alot better, we came out more organized today and there was a lot more passion because we were sour from our result the day before. We knew Ryerson would be fresh and that they were a quality side ,that was coached well, we do respect them. At the end of the day we did certain things that we did plan and executed well, but it comes down to just finishing a game off, so this whole week of training were going to assess our next opponent. We see these guys again in two weeks, we see how they play now so we have time to plan and prepare, but again I'm proud of our guys for the battle we feel we deserved more points this weekend, going forward were fully optimistic these points will come in."- Christian Hoefler, Head Coach
