"I think that was our best match this season against a quality opponent. We made adjustments and took advantage of their weaknesses. We"ve got eight newcomers on the team and we"re trying to find a line-up that fits. The line-up tonight felt pretty good all week and we"re going to try in out for a while. We"ve got a lot of depth in all of our positions right now and we're playing a lot of kids," said Launiere.
