Americans Quotes:

Liam Finlay:” I’m super proud of the guys tonight. It was a big win for us, especially with Coach Costello in our hearts. It was a great all-around game.”

Aaron Gens: “I loved our effort tonight. Perry was great and made a couple big saves to keep us in the lead. We played smart defensively the whole game, and let our offense take care of itself. We’re getting better every game, so we love where we’re at right now.”
