Head coach Greg did not lose his belief in the Vanney club.
Orum I trust children and I love them, Van Vanney said. “I feel that we have some good moments and some good stretching, and then we create some shaky and sometimes our own problems. We need to continue to work to help us reverse the results and find solutions in our group.”

SKC call coach Kerry Zavagnin knows that it will not be easy to keep the galaxy low.
“You should respect them when you play la,” he said. “They have great players and many of these players have lifted a trophy a long time ago. They know how to win and good coaches. When you play a team of this size, it's a great opportunity.”
