From
Travis McCorkle:
Q: Still winless at home, do you want to run us through today's contest?Â
A: I think our attack was better tonight, and I don't think our defense was what it needed to be tonight, and that is something that we have been good at most of the year. I am excited that we had a lot of offense tonight at the end of the match, but we just kept looking for balls over the top. In the second half, we had some good opportunities; we just needed to convert on those. I am tired of tying. It's a good start, but we have more work to do. Q: You are going on a two-game road trip against Oklahoma Christian and Sul Ross State. Oklahoma Christian is going to be gritty, they're gonna battle, and they have always been scrappy. I think that it is going to be a physical contest. Sul Ross lost to TWU, who is one of the better teams in the league right now, 1-0, and stayed with them. If we go into that match foolish, it could be a long drive home.
