QUOTES FROM THE SEAWOLVES
"I'm happy with the approach the guys took, we challenged them to come out and put in a good performance and I thought they did just that," noted head coach Ryan Anatol postgame. "I thought we moved the ball pretty well and defended well, and it's good to get a clean sheet and to score some goals. That's always a good thing. I'm happy with the performance since a lot of guys got minutes and we got to see some players who haven't gotten as much of an opportunity this season, so overall I'm very happy with what we got out of the game."
