HNS coach Josh Morten said he was happy with the way his team played in the first half.

“We played with them for the most part in the first half,” he said. “Then they just over powered us and we got tired.”

Morten is very impressed with the Flyers Allison Weidner.

“They have the best player in the area in Weidner. She is an amazing player and did it all for them,” he said. “She makes all of her players on the floor better.”
