by the Bulldogs. Credit to them for hitting a lot of tough & contested shots early in the game, though (which kept their pulse alive). And credit to them for getting us off our game at the end of the first half. I thought we just shot ourselves in the foot at first, but a rewatch showed they really upped their game & started to settle in. Unlike ASU & NC St, I think they actually came outa that game a better team. They took their 2nd half beating like men — & continued to play through it. Credit to them for keeping their class through a tough outcome, too.

Good thoughts. We obviously grew some as a team, too. Which is all we can hope to get outa these last two matches headed into the HC showdown. I'm glad to see Evansville are winners who will surely give us their best.
