Post-Match Quotes - Head coach Chris Hughes

“Overall we are getting opportunities and not putting them away, but at the same time, we need to eliminate some mistakes. We are putting ourselves in position to win some games but just some small mistakes have allowed the other teams to get chances and they have taken them. During tournament time, it's a chance to start with a clean slate and a time to eliminate those mistakes and capitalize on our opportunities.”
