Coaches Corner:
"Overall, we gave a good effort against a quality team. When we were patient and worked to possess the ball forward we were successful and built our attack. When we tried to rush it forward we consistently lost the ball and had to scramble to get it back. There are good signs of improvement." – Houghton Head Coach David Lewis
