Hats off to Albany today," head coach Chris Feifs said. "They executed at an elite level in all phases of the game. We will learn from this experience and get back to work on Monday. I love this team and know we can perform at a much higher level than we did today."

The Danes added another trio of goals before the end of the first quarter. TD Ierlan was 6-for-6 at the X in the opening quarter.
