Quoting Head Coach Ryan Anatol
"I was a little disappointed in our first half, I don't think we played with enough intensity. We pride ourselves in competing and working hard... The second half was a lot better, I thought. Our intensity raised, our energy was higher and it was a much better half. I thought we were in their end for a large majority of [the half]."
