Head Coach Jeff Gross Quotable
"This team continues to learn rapidly and apply themselves. We play matches and learn lessons and in later matches the lessons are applied. Going up 2-0 on the road against a playoff caliber team is a positive step. We will learn from the result and brush ourselves off and go again. These players are disappointed bu we will use this as fuel. I am a very proud coach! Roll Humps!"
