From the Coach
> "Today was a good opportunity for our guys to get a chance to see what the next step needs to look like," commented head coach James Snyder.
> "To see where we want to go, we need to see where we stack up. I think today was disappointing as far as how we competed but at the same time it's encouraging for where we can go."
