Coachs Remarks

"A tough conference battle to finish off the regular season. We were very strong in the first half, outshooting Elmhurst, so it was disappointing to be 1-1 at halftime. The second half was an even battle, and the boys showed character again to equalize late in the game. Now we focus on the tournament, and we welcome Elmhurst back in just three days' time for what I'm sure will be another battle!"
