NOTES & QUOTES
"After the game when the staff and I addressed the team we all agreed that we just need to play better and minimize mistakes across the board in order to give ourselves a fighting chance. We'll have to get back to work on Monday and will need to improve heading into our last regular season game. Without looking too far ahead and trying to figure out the conference standings, we will still have a chance and could be in the mix for the postseason if we are able to pick up a win next time out."
