COACHES COMMENT: Head Coach
Josh Petrusma, "It's a good feeling to end our first semester with a solid performance. We started strong and played tough all the way through the
game. Overall I'm happy with our first semester results. We've learned a lot about ourselves and we're growing as a team. We'll have a bit of a break for the holidays and then get back to it with
a tough opponent in PNW to open the second semester."
