COACH PRESSLER'S COMMENTS
"Today was a heartbreaker for us to many degrees. In a must-win situation, our guys played extremely hard, extremely tough and put all their emotions on the field. Once again, late in the fourth quarter when the game is being decided, a couple mental errors on our part led to a one-goal loss. It's been a remarkable year for us to be so close in so many of these games, but not to be able to pull through and finish. It's time to regroup and get ready for Robert Morris on Senior Day.:
