Coach Blohm's Comments: "We struggled to hit any shots coming out of the gate. I give credit to Wakefield's pressure in denying any easy buckets. Once we settled down after the first quarter, we began to move the ball more effectively, which led to a little more pressure defensively on our part. I am extremely proud of the effort our men gave all four quarters. We look to take this as a learning opportunity and continue to improve each day."
