They Said It
Head Coach Craig Kennedy
On the game
"Have to give real credit to Coach Walker and his team. They came out and played super hard, particularly with their post play. We were rusty coming out after being off for exams and didn't get into a good flow. We have to turn around now and focus our attention on our next opponent."
