Coaches Quote
 
Today was a little disappointing. We had another injury and we took a small step back defensively. This was a game we could be competitive in. Whether it was fatigue: mentally or physically or just a long road trip, we just didn't have what we needed today to compete for a win. Next week will be another two tough games in the SAC conference. This week will be another important one for growth.  – Coach Matt Barreiro

Next Up
 
The Tigers will be at home this Thursday, hosting the Southwestern Christian University Eagles in a 6:00 pm match-up in the Jerry Alexander Arena.
