COACHES CORNER
"Tonight was a hard fought game from the opening whistle. We had a great start to take the lead early and held it going into the half. Keuka was able to go on a run and in the second half and eventually take the lead. We fought back but we were not able to find the equalizer before the final whistle. We will look to recover tomorrow before hosting Alfred State on Wednesday night." –Head Coach, Andrew Lundeen
