Coach's Corner
Head Coach Daniel Finn said, "The guys battled but just didn't have it today. Gwinnett is an extremely solid team and there is a reason they have won four straight titles. The guys were in a lot of the matches and they were even closer than the score may have represented but just couldn't come up with the goods in the big moments. We will learn from today and get better in the areas we need to.  We don't have time to feel sorry for ourselves as the schedule continues to be tough.  Now we will just prepare for another strong test on Tuesday against Xavier."
