Coaches’ quotes:  “We played with a lot of energy and I like what we are doing. Coe-Brown is a scrappy team and Jay always does a good job getting his team ready to play. Solid road win, but we still need to get better in certain areas of the game. We have tough game coming up vs. ConVal Monday night and will need to play hard.” – MV’s Bob McNutt

“Our girls gave a great effort against a tough MV team. The experience received in this game is going to really help us.” – Coe-Brown’s Joe Vachon

Records: MV 3-1; Coe-Brown 3-1
