Coaches Corner:
"We got everybody in the game tonight so that was a good thing. It was an interesting game but we definitely controlled the play. Jose Flores scored probably one of the prettiest goals of the year and Nic Loew had a great goal. I like how our guys are coming into form and we getting everybody back healthy. It's good to see Andrew Bussey play about 50 or 60 minutes tonight. We resume Empire 8 play Saturday which will be a tough game against Elmira who was 4th last year and we were 3rd so it was real tight. I think are lineup is really coming in. It's getting to the point that its staring to look like what are team is going to be so that's good to see."– Houghton's Coach Matthew Webb
