Congrats to the storm who dominated the final 8 minutes of the game. They have balance, depth and desire going for them. They will be tough to keep from being the last one standing - Great Job Storm
Eagles, you could not have played with more effort, the ball wouldn't go down that's the way the game goes. No way to change it keep your focus for the nest game - good effort
