Renasant Bank Reaction
"I thought we played really well in the first half," said Coach Mike Sullivan. "We had some great chances and we were able to score a couple of goals. The second half wasn't as good, but we're still in that learning curve. We're still trying to get better every game and it's nice to get in the win column."
