"Overall I am pleased with the team's performance this weekend. After a rough start on Friday, the team rebounded and gave a great performance on Saturday, which shows the talent this team has," remarked head coach Hayley Veitch "We will work on a few items in the coming week so that we are better prepared for our next competition. It is always a good weekend when you beat the reigning champions"
