The Archers showcased resilience and composure in their first road test of the season.

Head Coach Terry Collins praised the team's effort:
"Getting the W in our first attempt away from home was a good step. We were very clean in the first half with only two turnovers, which helped us build that big lead. We need to work on closing out games, but CJ Lang hit two clutch shots to keep Lincoln Land at bay. Overall, it was a great team win."
