Coach Burgess' Thoughts
"We played with a lot of heart in two tough matches back-to-back. We did a lot of good things, but that wasn't enough. We needed to be in-system a little bit more to terminate the ball and score. We played well, but at this level, just a few miscues can cost you the match. We're looking forward to bouncing back vs Jacksonville tomorrow afternoon."
