COACH JACOB ASHTON'S COMMENTS
- I thought we started strong in both the first and third quarters. In the second quarter, we made a few mistakes, which Wilmington capitalized on.
- Face-off-wise, Kenny Bentley dominated all night. It was nice to win the ground ball battle and control possession time, especially in the second half.
- Rick Kaufman had a solid first showing and it was good to see Will Harriman and Abram Zimmerman find the back of the net a few times.

- Wilmington cleared 14-of-22 (63.6 percent) attempts, while Anderson cleared 13-of-21 (61.9 percent) attempts.
