“I thought we played very well; there was a lot selflessness all game and our communication was excellent,” said head coach Brad Spell. “We also played really well in the back and our ball movement was exceptional. The best part about it, though, was our guys were having a great time out there.”

Ivan Ponce once again led the Horses with three goals and an assist, Jared Stephenson added two goal and an assist and Sam Holloman had the remaining two goals. Sammy Sutter also contributed 2 assists to the mix along with Logan Spell and Luis Gueveva who each had one assist.
