QUOTABLE
"Obviously we would have loved to finish out the regular season with a win, but we won't let this take away from everything we did as a group this year," said head coach Kyle Gerdeman. "They have moved our program in a positive direction, and I am grateful for that. I thought we played our best basketball at the end, which is always a goal. Hopefully we will make the GLVC Tournament and have a chance to play again."
