Coach's Corner

"They never gave up, and outlasted a very tough Brown team," said head coach Bill LecLerc. "We had some sloppy play which is expected for the first outing. We fought to be tied at the end of regulation, and had play extra sudden death but that really brought the best out of them. We have lots to work on as to be expected, but I am happy to come away with a hard fought victory."
