Coach Casey O'Connor comments: "We have been talking about this dual for weeks and have put a lot of time into preparing for our head to head contest with Canton. We knew coming in that it was going to come down to a couple matches, and it did! Unfortunately, it was in the C-Hawks' favor. We can't lose 9 out of 14 matches and expect to win a dual. However, I was pleased with our attitude and hope we can continue it as we attend the Winner Invitational on Saturday, Jan. 20."
