Co-Head Coach Tom Lampe has these comments following the game. "It was a very close game until our offense came to life late in the game. Again we did a good job with 2 out runs. The game got crazy at the end. But we held our composure when it mattered and that's a good sign. Sam and Meg did a great job in the circle when we needed them most. Hopefully we can keep this up."
With the win the Falcons improved to 6-0 overall and 5-0 in the SLC. They return to action on Tuesday when they travel to Burlington for a SLC game.
