Coachs Remarks

"It was a playoff-level game in February.  We had a lot of freshmen out there today, including in OT, and our youth showed and hurt us at times, especially on turnovers.  We didn't clear great today, and too many dropped passes in our offense.  We are still unhealthy with starters out, and things just didn't run as we hoped offensively.  We can't blow a four-goal lead that late in the game, however, and most of it was poor management and not valuing our possessions, and that's on me.  As we get our young guys experience and get healthy, we will get better."
