They Said It – Head Coach Craig Kennedy
On the game
"This was a disappointing loss for us.  Benedict came out firing and we got into a hole and weren't able to climb out of it. We cut it [Benedict's lead] to three at one point but never got into a good rhythm. We will regroup for Wednesday against Allen."
 
Up Next
Spring Hill will remain in Columbia to face Allen on Wednesday in a SIAC game.
