THOUGHTS FROM COACH TED KRZYWIEKCI
"I was really proud of what our guys put into the game tonight. Embry-Riddle defended well and capitalized and we were not able to. We had some great passages of play culminating into a few chances that we could not convert. We know we need to finish the season strong and I know our guys will be ready to go on Saturday."
NEXT UP
