“In a game in which we created enough scoring opportunities to win quite comfortably we had to come from behind to earn a point. Our lack of ability to put the ball in the back of the net continues to plague us. While I was pleased with almost every aspect of today’s performance, it’s a very tough result to take. It’s important that we finish our season by continuing to build the habits which will make us successful in the future. We will strive to make the end of our season as memorable and positive as possible for our 5th year players,” said Head Coach Rob Giesbrecht.
