QUOTE OF THE GAME
"Commerce played well and beat us today. We will get better from this. They did what they do better than we did what we do. This is disappointing but a chance to bounce back, and I know this team will. I think we lacked a little urgency as well as energy. We are learning and will be better Friday." - Head coach
Damian Clarke
