QUOTABLE
TWU Head Coach Peter Hay
"We came out hard for 5 to 7 minutes in the first and then UBC took over and we got frustrated and undisciplined and gave UBC Power Plays that didn't go very well for us as they made us pay. Hopefully we can learn for tomorrow and be more disciplined and give UBC a game."
