COMMENTS BY COACH PAT HENNELLY:

"Was a solid effort tonight from the start. We had four first year guys on the court battling and playing great. Dylan Van Spankeren (1^st year, libero, Calgary, AB)  had a great match (9 digs).  Corbin Ockerman (1^st year, middle, Elk Point, AB) also had a solid performance (Ockerman was 3 for 8 with 1 block assist). Josh Mullaney playing at home was our best player. Sam Elgert continued his solid play leading the offense.  Full credit to MRU who also stepped up their play."
