"Not our best effort today," said Head Coach, Daniel Finn, "Having several players dealing with injuries and being banged up didn't help but it's not an excuse. We have to fight harder in the important moments if we want to win these matches. Today, that was the difference that cost us the match. We have to be better prepared and willing to do what it's gonna take to win these matches. Now we will go back to the drawing board and make sure we start preparing and getting back to the grind of our focus so we can prepare for our next matches coming up next week."




Keiser will have a week off before facing Palm Beach Atlantic on Saturday, February 18 at 2:00 p.m. in West Palm Beach.
