 "The underclassmen showed me a lot today. They executed well for three matches. A though pair in match four was a good learning experience and will only make them better," said head coach Tom Falbo. "Again two losses that could have been wins. The young players just learned how they have to dig their heels for frames nine and 10."
 
The best of seven matches await SFU on day three.
