John Petrucelli:
“We’re preparing for a tough game against Trieste, a talented team coming off some important victories, including an away win in Bologna and a home win against Roma. We know it won't be easy. They have a lot of good shooters and play at a fast pace, but we want to win. We need to play our game, defend, be physical and run the floor to create easy scoring opportunities. We’re working hard to make sure we’re ready for the game, and we're happy to be playing at home in front of our fantastic fans The Alcott Arena will be sold out once again, and our fans give us a tremendous boost. We’re ready for a great game!”
