"We're obviously disappointed with our result tonight. We have gotten opportunities and been all over teams, but we haven't finished" stated Coach Matt Viggiano after the game. "I think we could've shown a little more urgency, especially in the first half. I thought we saw a little more of it in the second half, but at this point in the year you're trying to win championships and fight for byes in the playoffs. There has to be a little more there. We didn't play enough as a team, and it looks like sometimes we're trying to do too much. The pressure might be getting to us a little, and I think we have to just play simple and we'll have much more success."
The Red Foxes will host Niagara on Wednesday, October 31 in the regular season finale. Kickoff is set for 4 P.M.
