COACH JON GIN'S COMMENTS
Mount St. Joseph is a really tough team and it's a hard place to get a win. I thought our team played hard and competed well for about 35 minutes. It was the two-minute stretch to end the third and the three minutes to start the fourth that really did us in. We lost our focus and intensity, which let them go on a run and we couldn't recover unfortunately. We'll bounce back and get ready for Rose-Hulman on Wednesday.
