Ken Crawford commented, "This was a tough game on the road tonight against the number 18 team in the country. We saw some very good things, and we held our own in a lot of ways. We need to learn that the ball is the most important thing, though, and we have to take care of it much better than we are right now. After a short bus ride tonight, we'll get ready to play OIT tomorrow."
