Key Stat Lines
Head Coach Scott Marr: "It's a tough loss. We need to find a way to be more consistent throughout the game. We came out on fire, with six goals in the first quarter, and then we just coasted at times. We played some of our best lacrosse at times today, and then we just played our worst at other times."
