Thoughts from Coach Briscoe:
"We had a lot of positives at our match tonight. Lots of players stepping up in big ways and as a team we communicated well. We still did not sideout as effectively as we needed to with giving up some big leads throughout the match. With that said, our pins put up some great numbers throughout the match along with some strong blocking keeping pressure on their offense. I think we definitely showed some maturity in this match and they can now enjoy the rest of their weekend."
