The Falcons, deadlocked with the Bucks 2-2 after one quarter, won the second quarter by two goals and made sure it was enough to scratch out a win on Friday.
“I am really proud of how our team responded after going down early,” Falcons coach Dean Curtis said. “CB West did a great job controlling possession in the first quarter. Our guys were patient and took advantage once we had the opportunity.
“Kudos to the Bucks for continuing to battle when we went up a few goals in the second half. We knew they would make a run with the talent they have on their squad.”
