We have had a lot of success with high low and they managed that very well. They came out and had some early success that put us on our heels, we battled hard and unfortunately Capilano managed to hit some key shots which kept us at a distance.

I asked my 5th year players if they wanted to end their season and careers on a win and they responded very well and the rest of the team stepped up and supported this. VIU is a solid team and have very strong players, which we had to be very prepared for. Today’s result was clearly a showing of the team that wanted to win more. Kennedy again was a defensive star hold Gromme in check with only 10 points. Kennedy has been a real active, almost annoying player to all the opponents all year.
