THEY SAID IT:
“I think I’m just getting some good bounces. All I’m trying to do is play a simple game and not try to do anything too crazy offensively. I’m just getting the bounces and moving the puck up. Our team is doing well offensively and the guys are doing a good job of finishing.” – Roadrunners defenseman Dysin Mayo Wednesday night after his second three-point performance of the season.
THIS WEEK’S NOTES:
The team practices today in Tucson ahead of their midweek home games and departs on Thursday for Iowa.
