COACH'S COMMENTS
"It was highly disappointing," said head coach
Dennis Currier. "We came off a good game against IUPUI and I thought we would have more energy today. We put up 20 shots, but couldn't find a goal for us. We have to find the back of the net. We find ourselves chasing the game and once we started to do that there were too many gaps. Once you do that Milwaukee made us pay for it. We just have to regroup. We have a young team and we have to put this behind us and get ready for the road games."
UP NEXT
- The Flyers head north to Michigan State Thursday at 7 p.m.
