"We started out the way I expected this team to be all season, but not sure what happened after that. We just got in a funk and started playing selfishly on offense and were not good on ground balls on the defensive side. We knew Benedictine could shoot it because they have all season, but we needed a better thirty minutes in the first half out of our defense. We were caught sleeping a couple of times. We had some great runs in the second, and I give the team credit for putting the game away. But we have a lot of growth to do and need to start learning from our mistakes."
