POST GAME REACTION FROM HEAD COACH STEVE WIDDOWSON
• On today's loss: "Unfortunately, some of the same lessons we have seen before. We have to take care of the ball better. Both goals came from easy turnovers and we can't keep presenting teams with easy chances to score. On our attacking end we have to be more clinical. We had some very good opportunities, but wasted most of them which you cannot afford to do in this conference. Overall though, we need to show more character throughout the field and be willing to battle more."
