Coach’s quote: “How can you not be happy starting the season 2-0 against the two finalists in D-II last season and both teams being solid again this year. But two games don’t make a season. You work to correct your mistakes and build on the success you have achieved. We just have to keep working hard and the victories will take care of themselves.” – Bow’s George Pinkham
