QUOTES FROM THE SEAWOLVES
"I think we saw two different halves. I thought in the first half I wasn't really happy with our performance, but in the second half I thought we did a much better job. I thought the second half was much better than the first half. I challenged them at halftime, I told them that we need to play with a little bit more confidence, and I think that was the difference." - head coach Tobias Bischof
