WHAT WAS SAID
"I was impressed with Birmingham-Southern and thought they had three or four dynamic players that caused us some problems," stated head man Matt Kern. "I felt we grew in to the game and had a few decent chances at the end of the first half and early in the second half. Our speed of play is getting better, but still not where it needs to be. We will regroup and get ready for MUW and Millsaps next weekend."
