"If we look at night one versus night two, there are a lot of different aspects of our game that we improved, and yet we are still not satisfied – and now we have a bye week coming up, so we have some more time to clean up the things that we'll see through video."

"We know we have so much more potential, and this is just the beginning. It's a long season for Canada West players, so I think we are still optimistic and just excited to get back in the gym and learn from these two nights."

Up next:
The Cascades now have a week off before they return to action at home against the University of Regina Cougars on October 31 and November 1. The matches are set for 6pm and 4pm respectively, and can be seen live at the UFV Athletic Centre or on Canada West TV.
