WHAT THEY'RE SAYING:
"We're looking forward to Sherbrooke again, the girls are really looking forward to a second chance against this team. I expect a very different result." — Jen Boyd, Head Coach
"We're given a second chance with the way it's tiered this year, we get to play the teams again and we get to play Sherbrooke at home and hopefully send them a message, and show we weren't ready to play necessarily the first time we matched up with them. We're growing, we're a young team getting our groove, it happens so quickly." — Michaela Haley, fifth-year second row
