Coach Quote:

"Despite the score, we grew in a number of areas. We are in need of some positive leadership from players AND coaches. I think there is opportunity for both to be better. We need to put in the work to earn the right to be competitive in these games. I am confident that we have a team that will. Biggest thing is that we will be able to get some rest. We will also get some players back in January that will really help. We just need to keep fighting!"– Coach Barreiro
