COACHES CORNER:
“We knew they were going to be a very organized and well-coached team, like so many other teams we’ve played so far,” said Ryan Moon. “We just tried to play our game, focus on us and what we were going to do, how we were going to pick out some of their weaknesses and how we could exploit them. We just had to stay focused on us more than them. It was going to be a hard battle and they were going to come in strong. We knew going into it that it was going to be a close, tight game, and I am very happy with how we approached it.”
