FROM COACH HILTZ
About the match: We need to do a few things not the least of which is to decide to win and be winners. I felt like we decided before the game started that we couldn't win and we played accordingly. Second, we need to find a desire and an ability to perform well in back-to-back games. We can't settle for one decent performance and then give less than 100% effort the next game. If we don't figure out these two things quickly we will be watching the SBC tournament rather than playing in it. I believe we are good enough that we should be playing in it rather than watching.
UP NEXT
The Warhawks will hit the road again to face Appalachian State on Friday night.
