 Coaches comments:

Associate Head Coach Covile said "we took a tough loss in tonight's contest. We had some awesome moments tonight but it wasn't enough to get the win. We have to find value in executing and limiting turnovers to close tight games. I saw a lot of great things that can catapult our season. As we continue to mature we will find ways to finish plays and close games in pioneer fashion."
