COACH'S COMMENTS
"It was disappointing tonight in the first half we scored a great goal coming off it in the early part and we just kind of let the tempo slide down and that's when you want to capitalize on that," said head coach
Dennis Currier. "Once we didn't do that, they got through the first half only allowing us to score the one goal. We knew it was going to be tight in the second half and we allowed them the second half goal which allowed them to match and from there they tightened up the field and we just left too many chances on the field tonight."
UP NEXT
- The Flyers will host Saint Louis on Sunday, March 28 at 6 p.m. at Baujan Field.
