According to coach Doug Scott, the Dragons initially had trouble adjusting when KO switched to a 1-1-3 zone, which GFA saw for the first time all season.

"I have to credit my assistant coach, Mike Harris, for choosing the offensive schemes that we used to solve it in the second half," Scott said. "And I have to credit all 11 of my guys for getting in the game and making it work."
