POSTGAME QUOTES

HEAD COACH GREG MOORE

On tonight’s game:

First weekend back for Suomela and I thought as tough as it was to not play a game in seven months to then play three-in-three, he did a really good job getting us some really strong minutes, played really well today. We’ve leaned on a lot of guys to come in and fill in some spot. After the slow start in the first, we found our game, thought we deserved a little bit better outcome in the second and third in terms of finding some goals.
