QUOTES FROM THE SEAWOLVES
"Today was a professional performance. We had the chance to play every available player and saw some first career goals. I was impressed with our ability to move the ball and create scoring opportunities," said head coach
Tobias Bischof.
"It was a good win to gain confidence for us as a team. I think that the amount of scorers proves how hard everyone has been working in practice and it's great to see that the result is reflecting that effort. I think for the hat trick you just have to stay focused the entire 90 mins no matter the score, and the high-energy in the team today played into it too. It was a fun game and we'll take that spirit into the next one," said Beck.
"It felt so good to secure a win today especially on our home turf! I think it gives us a lot of momentum moving forward in CAA play. It was overall a great team effort with multiple people getting on the scoresheet and all four of our goalies logged some minutes which proves that we are a deep team! I am looking forward to the rest of our season and excited to keep growing with this team and see what else we can do in conference play!" said Rich.
