Coach Jones' Thoughts: 
"We struggled to keep William Smith off the offensive boards today. Numerous times they got their miss and hit three point shots. It was an uphill battle type of game because of that. Our effort to box out has to be better to beat a competitive regional team. We shared the ball very well today. We assisted on 80% of our makes. That's a positive we can build on. Overall, we needed to work for stops when William Smith went on runs. We simply can't solely rely on energy from scores, but we're young and we'll learn that. We need to trust the process and success will follow. Riqiya Harris scored the ball well inside for us today and Erin Radack was a big reason why we came back in the second half. Allison Chiera did a nice job keeping possessions alive on offense."

Up Next:  The Golden Eagles have a short break before returning home for their conference opening weekend against Oswego and Cortland on December 6th and 7th.
