QUOTABLE
TWU Head Coach Peter Hay
" We had a great week of preparation and practices that led to a strong start and we played very well in the first half, of the game scoring four goals and playing the right way as a committee with some depth players rising to the challenge and producing some hard-working scoring. In the second half, the Huskies turned it up and took back control of the game but Kate Fawcett was incredible and made highlight real saves to keep us in the lead and eventually winning a big game."

"We expect a tough game tomorrow and we will need to adjust and find better solutions under the pressure of their forecheck. I am happy for our team. They play hard and it shows."
