Patriot coach Tom Slechta played up his team's effort rather than dwell on a disappointing defeat. "If you told me we'd play the way we did, I'd take it any time. You always want the win, but you can't fault anything the kids did," Slechta said.

"We had a good start," said Patriot coach Tom Slechta, who saw his team improve to 9-3.
