Brynden MacTavish – Lead Assistant Coach
"The scores were very indicative of how close a game it was tonight, there were long extended rallies from start to finish. UFV played a great match in all areas. It was cool to see a few young players get their home court debut and contribute as well as some veteran players with key plays in crucial times late in the match. We have been happy with the preseason build of the whole group and look forward to continuing that all weekend."
