"Because we're such a brand new team, this is an absolute eye opener for the rest of the season. It gives us plenty to work on for practice, plenty of stuff to come back with, so I think we can use this to come back stronger."

"Like our coach says, we have these certain sections when we are focused and we are dialed, so we just need to make that the whole set."

"I want to be a good role model for the team, but this is also my first time really stepping into it. Luckily for me I have two years of learning that the rookies don't have, but I'm just kind of going in there and growing with the team."

Up next:
The Cascades now return home next week for a pair of matches with the Winnipeg Wesmen on Friday and Saturday. Match times are set for 6pm and 8pm and the match can also be seen live on Canada West TV.
