QUOTING COACH MURPHY
"Was happy that the boys were rewarded for their hard work with a good result tonight. We connected much more effectively with the ball and created multiple chances throughout the match. Felt Aidan (Ferreira), Jacob (Petersen) and Samuel (Odame) were very good and highlighted a strong team performance. We still have some work to do in preparation for Stetson next week and our upcoming conference schedule starting next month. We have yet to play our best match yet, so the potential of this young group is exciting."
