John Scott Quotes: "This was a game we were really looking forward to, but we now need to quickly move on from it. The first half was littered with individual errors and at half time the team was literally shell-shocked being 5-0 down. At 2-0 down, there was a glimmer of hope as we did find the back of the net, but the offside flag said otherwise. In the 2nd half, we gave it our best shot with the attitude being to wipe the slate clean and start again. For the second 45 minutes, we lost 3-2 with Troy scoring twice. His second goal was special for any level. Troy has scored all three goals for us this season. Next up, we have RPI on Tuesday night."
Up Next: The Hawks next play at RPI on Tuesday, October 17 beginning at 7:30 p.m.
