"I was really happy with our mental toughness in this game," said Mohawk head coach Kevin Duffy. "Every time we pulled away, Lambton would respond, but our team never panicked. They just stayed with what was working and eventually we were able to pull away for good. Our zone offence was exceptional tonight with a lot of good ball movement and some very timely shooting."
