"For the most part I am pretty pleased with how our team played and competed today. Both opponents were very tough and I feel like they were just a little better in their execution in some critical spots.  It was great to have a home match with a nice show of fan support.  I know it really was appreciated by the players and it created a terrific home atmosphere." –Coach Jayson Wiseman
