COACH TOMIC QUOTE
"We are very disappointed at the outcome of our opening weekend. We faced three tough teams that challenged us in different parts of the game. They exposed our weaknesses, but also showcased some of our strengths on which we will continue to build. We will learn from these failures and I believe they will make us stronger and better in the long run."
