COACHES CORNER:

"The men gave it their all tonight for their seniors" said Chan. "We had some good spells of momentum and showed great character to come from behind twice, but we just couldn't seem to restart the legs into OT. Tampa is a very well coached and talented team, they've been a great rival for many years and we always have a great battle so tonight fit that bill. Ultimately, the result was disappointing but we can take a lot of positives in the attitude and spirit shown in tonight's performance."
