Coach's Corner
Head Coach
Gavin Oldham said "The team did exactly what we need to do today. We were able to put the game away in the first half as we scored five goals. It is also great to get everyone minutes in the contest. I appreciate the hard work from the seniors in the time they were here and have left the program in a better place. We will now get ready for the conference tournament."
