Coach's Reaction
"Youngstown State did a very good job of scoring from the outside tonight. We defended well in spurts but unfortunately a few costly turnovers allowed them to go on a run. Our team effort on the road this week has been good, but we will continue to work on getting better with our execution on both sides of the floor."
--Head Coach Beth O'Boyle
