THEY SAID IT
Head Coach Kendall Brooks thoughts today's match…
"We got beat by a solid team today, bottom line. I think it's extremely tough to bounce back after an emotional win that we had yesterday and be ready to face another tough team today. And we came out a bit flat and dug ourselves a huge hole. We fought hard and never gave up, but we just didn't have it today."
 
Brooks on moving forward after first loss…
"A loss is probably good for us at this point, as long as we learn from it. It's time to refocus and get back to work. I'm extremely proud at what we have done thus far and I know we aren't done."
 
WHAT'S NEXT
The Hilltoppers return home Saturday to face another Oklahoma team in Cameron who ranks fifth in the South Central Region. Live stats of the match will be available at GoHilltoppers.com at its conclusion.
