Following the match, Pacific coach
Pete Yellico had this to say about his team's performance over the weekend, "I'm very happy the way everyone played this weekend. We all showed up and competed very well. I was extremely proud of how the guys flipped the page after our heartbreaking 4-5 loss on Saturday. The real test in my opinion was to come back the next day and do it all over again. All the guys came out firing and showed real maturity. This gives us a lot of confidence going forward. Kudos to George Fox, and I hope to get the opportunity to play them again in the NWC championship."
