"It was a great feeling to get the season off to a great start," said Uremovich. "Scoring the first goal was amazing.
"The atmosphere was great, we got on top early, and it was encouraging because our young guys didn't know what to expect and we got organized and did what we needed to get done. With that being said we know we have a lot to get done, but we are excited to get back to Dallas"
Outlaws Co-Head Coach Kevin Leonard was concerned that his team nearly let an 8-0 lead slip away, but was pleased overall. "We played well, we kept it simple most of the game, could have finished a little better in second half, but it was a great win. There are some things we need to work on, the guys played very hard, and need to get a little fit and stay a little more consistent."
Cesar Cervin, Outlaws Co-Head Coach, and longtime Dallas Sidekicks assistant coach agreed. "The guys played well, the altitude played a part in the second half. For the first game I was very impressed, we will get it even better."
