Coach's Corner
Head Coach Daniel Finn said, "Obviously losing always stinks. We're not happy to lose this match but I will commend the boys on how hard they fought. We had a lot of bad breaks that didn't go our way today but the boys really continued to fight all the way through the end of the match. You have to give a lot of credit to Lynn as they have a quality squad and were just the better team today. As with any loss, we were able to identify areas that we have to improve on and we will obviously get back to work tomorrow and address the weaknesses before going to Orlando to play a very tough Gustavus Adolphus team on Friday. "
