Coach Kayden's Take
"We didn't play up to our expectations today and obviously had some struggles," said head coach Kirk Kayden. "Stanton had an off day and any time your top guy has a tough time, it makes things difficult. Lino Galdin impressed in the final round and I'm proud of him, but we simply made too many mistakes as a team.

"All is not lost; we were able to beat a top 25 team in Tennessee and still finish ahead of a handful of teams that are ahead of us in the rankings."
