From The Coach:

"Really great effort on the road tonight. We settled for their pace of the game late in the first half, but we took control of the tempo in the second to put it away," commented Head Coach Dan Larkin. "Proud of how hard our team is playing. When we play with energy, togetherness, and make the smart play we are a really fun team to watch. We'll enjoy this one until midnight tonight and then start preparing for a tough Apprentice club tomorrow."
