Coach's comments on the win …
"I thought we played well in the first half and created a couple of very good chances," Coach Biggs said.
" And while they scored a very good goal, we were a bit unfortunate to be behind 1-0 at halftime. We responded very well to the challenge, were physical, and fought hard to tie the game at 1-1. We'll keep working to put our opponents under even more pressure in the attacking half, so our margins aren't quite as fine in regard to the final scoreline."
