After the game Coach Jim Bell
said "The Defense played an amazing game, holding the Sault
offense, but spent to much time on the field, as the offense
sputtered" and added "tough to play the first game of the
season against the defending National Champions with out a
tune up game, (Milton folding operations, we were to play
them on opening weekend) but overall the mistakes were
minimal, and there is progress"

19th in Oakville, and return home June 26th versus expansion
Ottawa Invaders.
