Coach Jason Papple was happy with the win but still critical of some costly Seaforth mistakes.

A large crowd visited the blue line club after the game for the "annual "Meet the Player Night." Saturday, the Cents looked to post back-to-back wins for the first time this season in a rematch with the Port Stanley Lakers.
