Head Coach, Rob Engelken
On hosting the Carleton Ravens in a CUFLA East Playoff…
Carleton has given us some tough quarters and halves – they gave us a great second half last time they were here and played us tight. We are getting ready for them and will be fully prepared for them. We are really just looking to play 80 straight minutes. If we do that, I trust our guys will be okay.
