COACH'S COMMENTS
"First off I would like to thank the alumni for coming out tonight," said head coach Dennis Currier. "It was a great crowd. Obviously we were a little disappointed once we let that goal in with the few seconds left in the first half. We hung our heads a little bit too much. Give credit to Loyola in the second half. They were all over us. Even with that though, I thought we could find the late goal. We did get the point out of it. We just still have to do some work to qualify. I think it's just regrouping a little bit. We played well tonight. We just had spells where we fell a little bit short. I think it was difficult to not get the win tonight."
