"I'm extremely happy, and grateful for this performance as a team," said Hanya. "Personally, it has been very long since I scored my last goal, so this is definitely an energy boost moment for me, and I'm really excited to score more goals as we head to the last couple games."
New signing, Justin Dhillon was great for the Switchbacks on Saturday night. Within the 64 minutes played, Dhillon was able to continue his goal scoring reputation by adding one to the score sheet two minutes into the second half.
