Words From Coach Worman:
"Matches are when we get to test the new skills, tools and mindsets that we work on in practice. One skill that is coming through strongly is resilience. There were many challenges and curveballs that came our way today, and the team met them with equanimity. The growing and building part of our process is on track and I'm seeing solid glimpses of what's to come. Today was a success in many ways."
