Coach's Corner
"Honestly we just got beat by a better team today," stated head coach
Daniel Finn. "Our guys competed and fought and honestly the level is comparative but Barry was the better team today. Coach Samuel has a really strong team this year and after we beat them the year before they were ready. The good thing about today is we saw some areas that we need to work on and some things we need to refocus on. Leading into postseason play that's always a good thing to realize and try to work on. We will work on these things and be better. I still love this group of guys and know great things are ahead of them. Now it's time for us to refocus and get ready for next week at The Sun Conference Championships."
Up Next
The Seahawks will return to action on April 20 when Keiser takes on Warner at 9 a.m. in the semifinals of the Sun Conference Tournament in Key Biscayne, Fla.
