"We did not get the three points, but the team played 90 minutes with a positive attitude to win the game," said the Attak head coach, Marc Dos Santos. "I am satisfied, it was a good performance, and the effort was there."

The Attak has a one-point lead over the St. Catharines Wolves in the national division. Both teams will meet next Saturday in a crucial match-up in Trois-Rivières.
