COACH'S COMMENTS
"I thought the team showed great energy again tonight," said head coach Dennis Currier. "We just had too many unforced errors that a top five team in the country will capitalize on, which they did. Offensively, we fell short on accuracy in the final third as well. It was important for our team to see this level of play."
