“It was very similar to last Saturday’s come from a positive standpoint and for addressing areas of improvement,” said Cougars Associate Coach Josh Dixon. “The positives are we score first, score four goals again, get 36 shots on net, and show we can claw back in games. On the flipside, we need to eliminate those stretches in games where we get outworked, give up goals in bunches and dig ourselves a hole to try and get out of.”
