John Scott Quotes: "Going into this game against a D2 opponent we knew what the challenges would be. Our approach was to embrace the match and to focus on gaining positives both individually and collectively, and not to be emotionally distracted by the score line. What everyone should know, is this young team of ours is not shirking from the amount of adversity thrown at them. We're rolling with the punches, but we're always ready for the next game and new challenges. This positive outlook will stand us in good stead come time. Thanks to those who made the trip today. We thank you for your support."
