Quotable:
Head Coach Yuri Suguiyama: "The goal this weekend was to be better than we were last time and we saw that in a lot of ways across the boards."
 
 "The environment in here on that last relay was pretty rocking. That's the thing that we want to do here, when teams come to race in Soderholm, is to know that they are going to come into a tough environment."
