QUOTES:

TRU head coach John Antulov " I thought in the first half we played excellent. We had good opportunities and defended, very, very well. Second half early guys didn't' come out with the right mindset. They have three or four really skilled players that if you are not on all the time, they can punish you and that's what happened.

 There was little bits and pieces. They went up 3-1 and we cut it down to 3-2.  We started going again and then made a bad mistake on that fourth goal and that deflated the guys a little bit."

On Contest:

Dinos Head Coach Brendan O'Connell

On His Teams Performance: "It was a big second half for us considering the result yesterday (losing a last minute decision to UBCO in Kelowna, BC). I am very proud the way they came out. I am very proud of the performance by our boys."
