COACH'S COMMENTS
"I thought the game was competitive on both sides," said head coach
Dennis Currier. "It was a great college game. I thought either team could have got a goal. The goal we got in was a little controversial with the offisides call, but our guys fought hard. I thought our guys getting another shutout defensively was a good thing. Ultimately, we have had back-to-back weekends now where we are unbeaten and we want to try to remain that way moving forward."
