Coaches’ quotes: “You can tell Bow coach (Cherie) Snow is a great coach, as the Falcons made adjustments from Tuesday, playing a strong game and hustling all over the field. Our team was less sharp than we were on Tuesday, but we worked incredibly hard to stay in the game. Sydnee made some outstanding saves again, and Bella came up clutch for the third time in the two-game set with Bow this week.” – John Stark’s Dennis Pelletier
“The team is coming together and is working hard at developing and implementing the skills they are learning. With each game they are improving.” – Bow’s Cherie Snow
Records: John Stark 4-0; Bow 0-4
