Quotable:
UFV head coach Al Tuchscherer

"I think it meant a lot to her. It's a special weekend for her and she has a lot of friends and family up here and she got a bit emotional after the game and thanked the team for playing hard for her." Tuchscherer said of Gobeil.

"I think TRU played a lot tougher tonight, and they made us do a few things early on, but we ended up wearing them down. It gave us a chance to play some of our younger players, and they can play they just need that bit of experience. It's good to see them out there and they all did some good things this weekend."

What's Next:
The Cascades are back at the UFV Athletic Centre for a game on November 22 at 6pm and November 23 at 4pm against the University of Victoria Vikes.
