"We weren't at our best tonight, but we ground out a gritty performance to get the win". Coach Scott said. "There were moments where we should have comfortably put ourselves in the driver's seat and controlled the match, but Milligan worked hard and we just weren't sharp enough ar times which resulted in the scrappy performance."
