Mike Shearon, TWU Head Coach
"Obviously, we would have wanted a victory tonight, but we'll take the tie and we'll move forward this week and get ready for a big playoff push. this last week in the season. It was good to see some of the senior guys play well tonight, especially
Adam Hajdecki (Surrey, B.C.), who had a fantastic weekend. As we move forward, we've taken some good steps this weekend and need to bring it all together this week. And like I said, get ready for that playoff push."
