Coach Clark Postgame Comments
“This is obviously extremely frustrating. We were fortunate to be 0-0 to be half. The application just wasn't there tonight.”

“We didn't mark up well in the first half, and UB wasn't able to finish. That wasn't the case in the second half. Today was a lot about effort. We had a lot of people who played hard, but not in a particular within out framework. We were not surprised by anything UB showed us. It's what we worked on all week.”
