"We were disappointed with the outcome of the game, but I am proud of how our team battled for four quarters," Coach Jonathan Coddington said. "Our defense made some great stops and did a good job getting off the field on third downs. We had some big plays on special teams, flipping the field on punts and a long kickoff return. There were a lot of good individual moments. We have to work hard to play a cleaner game and not hurt ourselves. The most important thing is that we continue to develop. We look forward to getting back to work this week at practice and we are excited for another opportunity next Saturday against Oberlin."
The Ravens face off with Oberlin College (0-1) on Saturday at 1 p.m. in Oberlin, Ohio.
