What They Are Saying

Head coach Shawn Burke: "As a group we haven't been mentally focused for 90 minutes and it cost us today. At this level and in this conference, the teams that can be clinical on both sides of the ball will be successful and that was not us today. I have to do a better job preparing our players to stay focused for 90 minutes."
