The Tigers outshot Sterling 15-6, but Sterling was able to get 3 goals off those 6 shots.

"We played well, we really did. We had great ball possession and had quality shots on goal, just missed a few by inches. We're a good team, and we will bounce back and be ready Saturday.'" said Coach Macahria.

The Tigers dominated the first half out shooting the Warriors 9-1, but could not get in the goal as they played to a 0-0 score in half 1.
