Coach Jackson Lenoir commented on the loss, "Tough loss tonight against a very tough Lindsey Wilson squad. We got off to slow starts in the first two sets and kept playing catchup, which you cant do against a good teams. Despite missing a couple of people in our lineup tonight, I thought we did a good job on the service line and battled. We will regroup and prepare for a competitive matchup versus Bethel this weekend."
