Coach
Troy Ready is proud of the progress the team is already making in the young season. "I'm proud of the response our team made after conceding a goal on the oppositions only shot of the game," Ready said. "We didn't panic, stayed true to our identity, and the goal's started coming. We now have a few more days to prepare for our final non-conference match against a team from Arizona."
The Knights as a whole were busy putting 17 shots on goal. The Knights were also very impressive defensively not letting the Pioneers get many good looks at the net. The Pioneers only had one shot on goal the entire game.
