Head Coach Daniel Finn said, "Honesty not super pleased with the way we started today. We came out flat and did not have a lot of energy from the start. We were able to get the job done but we need to fix some areas. I am happy with a 6-1 victory against a ranked team, but we have to find a way to start matches better. We will address that in practice as we get ready for our next match."
