COACH CARTER COLLINS'S COMMENTS

It was a very disappointing first half from us [on Tuesday]. I thought we completely played into North Park's hands and allowed them to dictate nearly everything about how the game was played. We have to come out with much better focus than that. In the second half, I thought we played well enough to win, but couldn't recover from our first-half deficit. We need to learn the lessons that this game provided us!
