Head Coach Jeff Gross Quotable
"We want to be tested each time we play. Records can be one indicator and progression over time is a truer indicator of a team's quality. Both teams tonight will grow over the season in my opinion. Our team picks up on the methods of play we are working through a bit more every match. It's a coachable group and I'm looking forward to more growth. I'm disappointed in the result and let's keep that into perspective as well, we are striving for consistent results over time. On to the next one! Roll Humps!"
