Coach Rob Engelken
"It is always exciting to kick off homecoming on Coulter field!  McGill is always a talented, deep and tough opponent!  We will try to make it interesting for our fans in purp!  Hopefully we will get lots of hometown love from the crowd!  McGill is strong from end-line to end-line, but I've already seen that even though we are a young squad, we, as usual, do not ever quit. Our boys have a lot of fight in them and are starting to understand their roles and our systems better, and most importantly, believe in each other!"

Stats Leaders:
Perron sits third in the CUFLA standings with 20 points through three games, tied with McGill's Goose Bolton who has played five games.
