From Head Coach Travis McCorkle: "We were fighting until the end; the weight of the pass is off, the runs are second off or a second early. We made a mistake on the first goal; we should have gotten the ball away and fought on to live another day. On the second goal, we should have punted it out on that backside, but we just misplayed the ball. The small things are not going our way right now, which are leading to these goals and these missed chances for us. Hopefully, these small things will soon go on our side, and we can start getting back on the right track and getting goals and points.
