Head Coach John Galloway's Comments
"Today was a chaotic day, but I am proud of our team's resilience to get the job done, especially in the second half.
Josh Estavillo was fantastic in the net, and
Seth Hogue,
Devon Sullivan,
Carson Dickson and
Bryce Hutchinson were huge on ball. Offensively, Dan May and
Theo Kostakos provided us a spark that allowed us to pull away late. We have alot of work to do, but we get to come back home on Rock Beach one last time to continue to grow and improve as a team."
