QUOTABLE
Adam Schriemer, TWU Head Coach
"Overall, I was really pleased with our performance tonight. We got off to a slow start but after that, we were able to play a little bit more like we wanted to. It was nice to see us have a good performance in our block defence phase. I thought
Jackson Corneil and
Liam Remple did a really nice job at the net. Willem,
Isaac Navarro and Chuck (
Zack Yewchuk) got their first starts today and they were great and now we're excited to get to play another game tomorrow against a good Windsor team."
UP NEXT
The Spartans will play again Friday at 8 p.m. (ET) before taking on Guelph (Sept. 27) and Waterloo (Sept. 28).
