QUOTABLE
Brynden MacTavish, TWU Assistant Coach
"Preseason is always about learning about ourselves and how to do difficult things as we prepare for the season. This morning was a perfect example of that for our group – learning how to close out sets, learning how to bounce back from disappointments, and learning to fight back when things aren't going well. I'm proud of the group this weekend as a whole and in this match as we battled a strong team. We look forward to putting these lessons into practice this week in preparation for West Coast Classic."

TWU will return home to play in the West Coast Classic, with the Spartans hosting UBC Oct. 5 at 8 p.m. at the Langley Events Centre before taking on Calgary Oct. 6 at 9 a.m.
