THEY SAID IT
Head Coach Estevam Strecker on today's win…
"I am very pleased with the win, we surely needed it! I think we competed better than they did and that really was the difference. It was not a pretty match, but we played better they did and sometimes that is enough."
 
Strecker on the road ahead…
" We need to focus on getting healthy again and reset. It has been a very tough run, but I think we are getting the second wind on the season, so upwards and forwards."
