TWU Head Coach Barret Kropf
"It was an interesting night. I was happy with the team's effort after 40 minutes, but we ran out of steam, confidence, and momentum in the third period. Even though we took a loss after having a two-goal lead I'm still happy with the effort. We have a lot of things to work on going into our next game."
