"I'm extremely proud of the effort of our young men. They played with resilience and played together through the ups and downs of the game. This is the first game where we have played a full game tough from start to finish. We will continue to work to improve in our bye week on the fundamentals. I'm also extremely proud of our coaching staff for staying the course and having our team prepared."
