Head Coach Scott Hemer's Postgame Comments
"Unfortunately, we struggled again out of the gate and never settled in until the second half, when it was too late. Until we can fix that recent trend, it will be difficult to have any consistency in terms of winning games. I am proud of their resiliency so there is certainly hope we can get this turned around before it is too late."
