COACH'S CORNER

"Today was a tough day for us on the field. St. Joseph's started the game well and got an early lead. It's difficult to get back in a game when you're down that early, but the guys fought hard throughout the remainder of the game trying to close the gap. Unfortunately, we were not able to get the result we were looking for, but look forward to preparing for Whittier this Saturday."
-Coach Andrew Lundeen
