QUOTABLE
Adam Schriemer – Interim Co-Head Coach
“Credit needs to go to Mount Royal. They’re a very well-coached team that played at a very high level throughout the match. They have so many different weapons at all position. They played a clean game, and they didn’t give us any free points tonight. Because of their consistency, they made us execute at a really high level. We weren’t able to today.

“This is two weekends in a row where we’ve played some great opponents who gave us a chance to identify some of our flaws. Now we have the chance to go through film, and practice before next week when matches start to count more.”
