COACH’S COMMENTS
“… We have had a tough 3 game stretch here but there are a lot of things to learn from those 3 losses. At times in those games, we played really well. That is something we can build off of as we head into post season play. The last week of regular season is this week, hopefully we can fine tune some things and make a run starting next week!”
