QUOTES FROM COACH
"This was an exciting win," head coach Matt Smith said. "We had never won against Randolph before and a lot of people did not expect us to win tonight either. New players emerged as we played eight freshmen. William Majano had a great game, he tied it up for us and his goal gave us the OT win."
