"Really tough loss today," said Head Coach, Daniel Finn, "We have our issues right now that we're dealing with and we honestly did not play well today. I'm not going to take any credit from Indiana Wesleyan as they are a great team and deserved the win today based on how hard they competed alone so congrats to them. However, on our end, we have a lot of room for improvement. The boys need to reset and fix these things if we want to be where we want to be in the end. They have to make the choice between making excuses or getting back up, owning our mistakes, and getting back to work. Today is a bad loss and it's awful to see how we were today, but we won't let it define us.  We will be back and better.  We will rest a day or two and then get right back to work and start looking forward."
