COACH CARTER COLLINS'S COMMENTS
It was a disappointing outcome for us [on Saturday], but we didn't play well enough to deserve a road win against another really good team. We have the ability to be better on the defensive end and on the glass than what we were [on Saturday], but we didn't get it done. Rose-Hulman was the more deserving team. We'll need to continue to work hard in practice to make sure that we can win these games in the future.
