MIKE'S MUSINGS
  • "We played great defensively and in the cage. The offense executed almost perfectly on man-up opportunities and got some good goals on 6v6 , but we still have another gear that we haven't hit yet, but we are close. We keep getting better everyday. This was a great team win." - Head Coach Mike Walter
