COACHES CORNER
"This was a great team win. The guys dug in and fought back after trailing 2-3 at halftime. The defense was able to hold Thiel to 2 goals in the second half and Jeremy Harris had a great game with 11 saves. Thiel's defense made it difficult to find the back of the net, however, Nate Anderson and Lyle Warrior helped lead our offense with a combined 4 goals and 2 assists." -Head Coach Andrew Lundeen
