Game Summary
Although we let up 7 goals, we took some positive steps last night. Labelle is a very solid team. They are bigger, faster and more skilled than us. We played hard the entire game and made them work. We did a better job with ball possession and decision making under pressure. Unfortunately, Labelle was able to capitalize on our miscues and did a better job in transitioning from defense to offense.
