COACH COMMENTS
"Over the last couple of games, we've stressed the importance of staying discipline on the defensive side, and I felt our guys exemplified that against a very good St. Xavier team. In the attack, I felt we created chances, even having one cleared off the line, but the ball just didn't bounce our way. Though we wanted the win, taking a draw on the road against one of the top CCAC teams is something we can continue to build off. We'll take the point but will need to be ready for the top team in the conference, Judson. Judson is one of the most dangerous attacking teams not only in the CCAC, but the entire country. We'll need to build off our defensive shape and discipline and hope to get a result."-Omar Gallo
