THEY SAID IT
Head coach Nick Brochu
- On the Buck Bouldin Battle of the Boro: "We are looking forward to the second tournament of the fall season. We are going in with a positive mindset after our first tournament and a great week of practice. We were able to change a fix a few things from last weekend that will hopefully allow us to play better this weekend. We have learned a lot about each other as individuals and as a team in the first tournament. We are glad to have our new players, Philip [Bosman] and Julien [Evrard], on the team. Our action plan for this weekend is to have the same energy as last weekend and execute the same way we do in practice. This weekend is about learning how to adjust and adapt to different situations and different environments. The fall season is for preparation for the spring, and that is why we want to continue to focus on the process and not the results. We look forward to competing again this weekend."
