Coach's Quotes
"I think we were sluggish at times with our technical abilities, but we fought. We battled the whole time, and when they went down a man, I thought we were going to get one, but we couldn't get one, whether it was lack of composure or control, we didn't find the back of the net. Leading up to this, our practices haven't been what they should have been, and it affected our focus. One thing Winston Churchill said was that you have to deserve victory, and I'm not sure we deserved that tonight."

For the Opponent

• Both Saint-Vil and Gavin recorded their third goals of the season.
• PBA is a provisional member of the SSC, and their games do not reflect upon conference records.
