MANAGER'S CORNER
  • "Was disappointed in our effort and the way we attacked the game tonight," said head coach Franklin Bush. " We can control our energy, intent, effort, and focus, and it wasn't at a championship level tonight. We have to be consistent in our approach to the game. We will look to get back to that tomorrow."
