• Coach Joe Burke: "We just didn't have enough in the tank tonight and I felt like it affected our shot making. The next stage in our development is to put together complete efforts on back to back nights regardless of injury or who is in the lineup. This is a Friday/Saturday league and the best and toughest teams can bring it on both days.  We will get another shot at it on the road again next weekend."
