Coaches Corner:
"We identified a few weaknesses in our play over the last few games and made a few adjustments today, and the guys executed very well. It was a much better defensive effort today.
Tyler Ashley probably had his best game of the year today. Bussey had both assists and our outside backs and wingers executed our defensive adjustments very well. It was a good result today" – Head Coach
Matthew Webb
