Coach Comments
"It was great to get our first home win. We created a lot of chances today and showed our attacking threat," said Pack Head Coach Oliver Twelvetrees. "Vinzent and Miguel caused them a lot of problems and scored quality goals. It was fantastic to also see Louis score his first goal for us in his career."
