COACH MACHARIA SAYS…

t was a great 1st game. We started little nervy but as the time went we got more confident and started to play better. La Sierra is good team with some game changing players  and we had to be vigilant in defense.Once we scored it felt like we were always going to win the game because of the chances we were creating.It was good to have 3 different scorers. This is a good building block to the rest of the season.

NEXT TIME OUT

The Firestorm will travel to Lancaster, CA to take on the University of Antelope Valley.
