BEHIND THE WHISTLE
"We're struggling to consistently play with the energy and competitive spirit that we need to perform at the level that we're capable of performing. This game was particularly disappointing because it didn't have to do skill, talent or tactics. It had to do with playing with energy and heart. We were missing the energy and heart necessary to give us a chance of success. We can get everything else right, but if we're missing those intangibles, it will all come to nothing. Hopefully this can be a learning experience." -- Head Coach James Lofton

NEXT GAME
Coach James Lofton's team will be back in action Wednesday, Oct. 24, at Washington & Lee University. The ODAC game is scheduled for a 4:00 p.m. start in Lexington, Virginia.
