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 4
th last year and we were 3
rd 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
