QUOTABLE
Graham Roxburgh– TWU Head Coach
"We possessed the ball way better today and generated some decent chances that we need to convert more. Having said that, bouncing back with a better competitive effort and more possession made it a way better game from our perspective."
NOTABLE
• The Spartans are now 31-2-4 lifetime against the Cascades and 23-1-4 in Canada West conference play.
• TWU has won 27 straight games against UFV, and have not lost to the Cascades since a 3-2 shootout loss in the Canada West semi-final in 2010 in Edmonton.
