Thoughts from Coach:
After the game, Head Coach Rusty Rogers said, "Very disappointed in myself—we were definitely not ready to play tonight. Although we are short-handed, we had enough talent on our team to take care of business and didn't—and that is 100% on me as head coach. This team deserves better and they will get that going forward!"
