“It was definitely a positive night for the Paladins,” said head coach Andrew Burr. “We were able to play everyone who dressed out tonight, we got the shutout, and five different players scored goals. It’s a short turnaround before we play Asheville on Sunday, so we’ll look to take confidence from this game and prepare for the next challenge.”
