QUOTES FROM THE SEAWOLVES
"We wanted to come out here and finish the year off on the right foot, disappointed with the result. The last couple of weeks was shown in today's game and that sums it up. Couple of chances we gave up just need to be defended better and we created opportunities to score but didn't put them away. We competed but we need to be better on both sides," stated head coach Ryan Anatol postgame.
