COACH'S COMMENTS
"The team battled back from being down 2-1 and earned a good point on the road for the first conference match," said head coach Dennis Currier. "We had plenty of chances to win the game late, but poor shooting technique let us down. Ultimately though, this is a tough place to play and we had to overcome adversity to earn the draw."
