Hakari's Thoughts

"Another rough outing, but we're just going to push forward and keep working to improve. A positive takeaway is that after going down 0-1, we fought back to equalize, which is something this group has struggled to do this year. So while the result is frustrating, there was a good learning moment baked in there that we can focus on."
