QUOTABLE
"I thought we did a pretty good job of managing the game defensively. We knew they were going to come out strong in the second half, and we were able to match up with their energy for the most part. They're a good team over there, and we'll definitely have some things to clean up for tomorrow." - Cougars head coach Steve Burrows
