    Coach Corner
Head Coach Daniel Finn said, "This was a huge win for the boys! I have a lot of respect for Point and how they compete. Point is a strong team that brings energy throughout the entire match. I am proud of the boys with how they fought like dogs throughout the match and even after we clinched it. After losing a tight one the other night, it shows how tough we are with how we bounced back today. We have to continue working and moving forward with the season."
