The Spartans pushed back in the third period but were unable to find the back of the net. 

QUOTABLE
Peter Hay, TWU Head Coach
"I thought our team gave everything we could today. We battled hard today with very injured-plagued roster. We had a lot of players step up and make the game competitive. Unfortunately we didn't score on our chances against a very good team."
