WHAT WAS SAID
Really disappointed in the final result," said head man
Matt Kern. "Credit to Belhaven for being very disciplined defensively, and really dangerous on the counter attack. We had some good periods of the game with quality possession but lacked enough precision and speed in the final third. Our collective defending is improving but we need to stay switched on defensively and minimize lack of focus in key moments that decide games. We will recover on Saturday and look to compete again on Sunday versus Webster."
UP NEXT
The Warriors return to Conway for a home contest against Webster Sunday at 1 p.m. from Warrior Field.
