Coach Morrison on the Win:

I thought it was one of our better defensive efforts of the season and it was good to get ten guys in the game for some good minutes. To go deep in the play-offs we will need a sound defensive effort and a team effort from our starters and bench. Tonight was a good start towards working toward that goal and now our goal will be to remain focused for our final two regular season games vs Guelph to finish strong.
