The men's ball hockey team continues to evolve.  Our goalie was last to the game but we dominated the play and they only got 2 free goals.  We showed good responsibility in the defensive zone, and we broke out well, eventually dominating cycle play in the offensive end.  The only thing we didn't get was the win.
