COACH STRADER SAYS…

• “We didn’t play up to our standard tonight in a pivotal conference road match. I believe in this team and what they are capable of achieving this season but we must demand more consistency from one another. We have been relying on our youth this season to carry us and now as we head into the second season that experience we have gained becomes crucial to our success as a team.”
