Coach Jim Underwood said despite all the penalties, he was glad to see minutes of good, offensive play. Especially with putting underclassmen in key roles, capitalizing on their mistakes and learning from them will turn to good things for this team.

“We’re going to continue to focus with more detail some defensive zone play,” Underwood said.
