Thunderwolves Head Coach Scott Morrison was "pleased with the defensive effort we gave today after a slow start. Valley City did a good job pressuring the ball and making us uncomfortable early, but we hung in there and did some damage in the paint to open up the perimeter. We have one more tough test tomorrow night with Jamestown to prepare us for the tough OUA east interlock schedule in November."
