WORDS FROM THE WARHAWKS

"First and foremost, let's give West Alabama credit," said interim head coach Steve Kenner. "They did a really good job adjusting to our defense. They also made some difficult shots while being contested. Despite the final outcome, I am still proud of how we competed and handled adversity down the stretch. This was a great game with a great atmosphere. This one really hurts, but we are headed in the right direction with our program. We are going to turn our attention to Shorter University as we go on the road for our next game on Monday."

The Warhawks will travel to Rome, Georgia on Monday and take on Shorter University at 4:30 p.m. in GSC play.
