Coaches Corner:
Head Coach
Jeff Caha commented after the game, "I was disappointed with the effort tonight. There are alot of issues that the players need to figure out and decide if they really want to compete or lay down the rest of the year. They have shown great flashes but are inconsistent. We have another chance on Saturday to get it done!"
