WHAT WAS SAID
"Give credit to BSC for having an athletic group that is very dangerous on the counter attack," said Head Coach Matt Kern. "After giving up an early goal, I was proud of how we responded to equalize and thought the first 30 minutes of the match was pretty even. However, the Panthers overwhelmed us in the second half and I need to work to sort out our shape in defensive transitions. We will recover and get ready for Ecclesia on Monday."

UP NEXT
The Warriors return to Conway for a quick non-conference meeting against Ecclesia on Tuesday before facing another SAA road game against Millsaps Sept. 29. Hendrix and the Royals are set to play at 3 p.m.
