QUOATABLES
Head Coach Matt Nantais
I think this weekend shows how resilient our team is. When we struggled, they worked their way out of it to finish the tournament with the championship.  It was a total team effort and I couldn't be prouder of them. We still have a lot to work on and we'll try to do some of that in next two days before we head to our next event.
