Quote:

"Tough loss, but we will learn from it. We dug ourselves a huge hole and trying to come back from 20 down to a good team like Oakland City is tough, but we almost pulled it off."

"As frustrating as the first half was defensively, we settled down in the second half and played much better. I was so proud of how hard we fought to give ourselves the lead and a chance to win. This loss hurts, but we will grow and learn from it."
