Coach's Corner
  • "This loss was very tough," said head coach Bill Boyle. "We have to stay disciplined on defense; we started to get stretched over the field, opening ourselves to the counter. There were big chunks of the game we had control, but one bad turnover led to a counter, which we did not handle well. We need to fix that and we will. This team has the talent to beat anybody and we will get there!"
