COACH'S THOUGHTS
"I thought we were really good for the first 15 minutes of the game," said Coach James Lofton. "As a relatively young team, our battle is for consistency. I think the more we are able to consistently play at a high level, the more we'll be able to put teams away instead of letting them hang around. Having said that, I'm always happier when the team gets a win. We just have to stay hungry and work to improve every time we step on the field."
NEXT GAME
Lofton's team will be back in action Sunday, Sept. 24, at Maryville College. The USA South contest is scheduled to get underway at 1:00 p.m. in Maryville, Tennessee.
