Coach Hall commented, “We had a great game on Friday at Morton. We started the game with our bench players and found ourselves 3-1 down at halftime. We showed fantastic character to comeback, I believe Dayle Robertson notched his 4th hat trick of the year. Yesterday was a tough opponent at Owens. We really put in an excellent performance. Most notably Patrick Berg came up big in goal and Alex Engle with a great long shot to win the game. It’s been a great regular season. We have had great opportunities to prepare for playoffs. We will have to see how this week pans out for our final seeding.”
