Coach Belzung's Reaction
"While I didn't think we started the match focused, we did a good job making adjustments and picking up our transition effort rather than letting it stress us. I'm proud of the group for being mature and fighting to get better. We have an important road weekend coming up and are looking forward to getting better in prep the next couple days."
