Head Coach David Neville Quotable
"We had some pretty positive performances out of this weekend with a number of new personal best accomplished. However, as a team we did not perform up to the standard I expect. As the head coach, I take full accountability for that. I will make the adjustments necessary to improve our team performances moving forward."
