When asked about the match, Head Coach
Robert McAdoo had this to say: "It was an extremely tough day at the office today. We worked hard, put in the time, believed in ourselves, but it still was not enough. So the only thing we can do is push past our limits. Nothing is ever handed to anyone. For me personally, I would not want it any other way. Proud of my young men, we will be back. I want to thank
Daniel Finn, Kris Swogger, and Dr. Vonk. I had a blast being the head coach at Keiser this year. I can't wait to see what the future brings to our team."
