Coaches Corner:
"Generated lots of good chances today…just couldn't get a second one. It was a bit messy…but the conditions were fine given the rain we have had. Both teams really were pressing for a goal at the end. This means if we beat Stevens next week we will be the #1 seed for the Empire 8 tourney."– Houghton's Coach
