COACH'S COMMENTS
"It was a disappointing game," said head coach
Dennis Currier. "I thought we came out a little flat tonight. Possession-wise we looked alright, but their plan was to sit in and counter and they did a really good job of that. They got two good goals off the counter and one of our mistakes. I think that is what we have really had to struggle with is some bad mistakes. Once again we did it tonight."
