On Match: " Much better match tonight from both teams. Trinity played great derence and converted some attacks fromus into points. It was good to have Sam Taylor Parks (4th year, middle, Kelowna, BC) back on the floor and he provided some offense out of the middle. We played solid and credit to Trinity Western for raising their level."
