“Impressive performance tonight by the guys – aggressive and relentless. We’ve had some injuries and the flu visited our locker room to start the season, and the guys have welcomed the challenge. Great to have Zach and Carlos back on court and eating up the opportunity to compete. Damien has been searching for the right gear to be in the first couple of weekends, and he had full control of his speed and lane tonight. Andrii delivered punches time and time again. Proud of their effort and they will be ready to go again on Sunday.”
