COACH'S COMMENTS
"I thought their response was great," said head coach
Dennis Currier. "Getting four goals with a man down, I think their response was really good. We knew that if we win this game we are playing in the final in our pod division. I thought in the first half we looked good then once we got the red card, the game changes from there. But we are really good in transition and finding the outlets of Kingsford and Jonas. We were able to start rolling and get some goals. It was a great win for us today. A lot of grit on our guys' part, a lot of running in the second half to shut them down. I was real proud of them today."
UP NEXT
- The Flyers will finish up the regular season on the road at St. Bonaventure next Saturday, April 10.
