Coachs Remarks
"We didn't play a very good game tonight. That's on me. We weren't prepared, and Edgewood outplayed us. Keyan Schugel and Andy Slattery carried us though and it was enough to get a win. I still have not found out the right pieces and answers on offense, and defensively, we are just underwhelming right now. All of that said, we have a ton of ceiling, and we are getting wins."


Team Results
  • Carthage returns to action on March 6, playing Hope on the road starting at 4 p.m. EST.
