COACH'S COMMENTS
"First off we had an incredible crowd tonight and we want to thank them for coming out and giving us that extra support," said head coach
Dennis Currier. "We knew the first game was going to be tough, playing with a little bit of nerves. They were really pumped up for the game so it was really just trying to break them down and try to find that goal. Once they set in, it was difficult to break. We did it late in the game and it was a great win for us."
