Coach Matt Erdman stated postgame, “We’ve started the 1st and 3rd quarters with no sense of urgency and dug ourselves into a hole and because we lack experience we don’t know how to get out of it. We still haven’t followed the game plan for 40 minutes. UVic did a great job of executing down the stretch and in my opinion, are one of the best teams in the country because they are extremely disciplined and can hurt you in different ways.”
