Head coach Jeff Gross Quotable
"We have to be more determined to take advantage of our positive starts to matches. This is the fourth in a row we have been in the position to do so. Tonight we beat ourselves, and this seemed to be a hard lesson I was hoping we would not repeat. We have to keep learning from the accumulation of match experiences and turn this into our favor. Roll Humps!"
