COACH STRADER SAYS…
- “I felt like we showed up for 65 minutes of the 110 today and simply didn’t finish our opportunities in the final third. HU executed their game play well, sitting all eleven players in the defensive third, compacting the box, and looking to counter. These are important lessons for us to learn as a young team. As we move closer and closer to the top-25 in the NAIA, teams will begin to sit in on us and we have to break their block and finish opportunities. We need our artists to be special and today we missed an important three points.”
