Coach's Comments
"I was very happy with the effort and energy, especially defensively," explained head coach Kevin DesLauriers. "The effort from our returners was excellent, especially Devon who was a spark for us in game one. We had strong contributions from Chye Davis, Brynne Winkleman off the bench, and Kathleen Doherty as an unsung hero of the day. I was especially proud that whenever someone was struggling, the next person came in and was able to pick them up."
