"Today we did well to get off the bus and put forth the type of performance we are capable of,” said Hurley. “Oxford Hills played hard and kept us off the board for the first 20 minutes of the game but we stuck with our game plan and executed well for the remainder of the game. We did a nice job possessing the ball and relentlessly attacking. It was a total team effort and the type of performance we can build on.”
