“Offensively, we did a great job sharing the ball with 10 of our 13 goals being assisted. Matt Miller led the scoring with five goals two assists while battling an illness. Conor Chapin was timing cuts from X to rack up four goals, and Andrew Suit lead us in assists with three. I could name them all honestly. It is nice to see a long list of scorers.”
