COACH'S QUOTE
"Today was another good fight for us as a group," said head coach Jack Kennedy. "We had some really good play after a little rough patch midway through the round. While we are disappointed to not come away with a win, we have some really good things to build off for next week. We have had a good fall and want to end it the right way at Poppy Hills."
