COACH CARTER COLLINS'S COMMENTS

I was a bit disappointed with our first half - not from an effort standpoint, but from an execution standpoint. But, I was really happy with how we came out in the first ten minutes of the second half with a better focus and mindset about us; we really cut into the lead that they had built in the first half. Hopefully we take this great opportunity to play at Southern Indiana as a learning opportunity - when we're focused on executing the gameplan, we can hang with just about anybody.
