The Flames were coming off two good performances against NCAA D1 schools, Montana and Idaho State.

"I knew coming in that it would take time for us to get better this season, having a lot of new players come in. We are a team that has been together for 3 months going up against teams that have been together for years. I'm just glad we are improving" added Balayon.
