Quotes & Notes
"I was pleased with our kids' performance. You look at the ones that didn't go your way or didn't go as well as you expect - like I want a better performance out of George Walton. I want a better performance out of Jake Silverstein, even though he ended up pouring it on at the end. And then obviously Matt Correnti. We need him to be better down the line and that's a match that he needs to figure out how to grind and find a way to win. So those are the things that we'll go back to drawing board and help those kids make the adjustments and hopefully they do better next time." - Rider Head Coach John Hangey
