Post-Game Quote Head Coach Chirs Gervat

“We came out I wouldn't say nervous or scared, but just hesitant and I thought it would pass by but the boys just played tentatively and because of that they played slow and that was the cause for the lack of production…The Lack of intensity led to the lack of production.”

Post-Game Notes
The Panthers set a school record for fewest goals scored in a game. The previous low was five which was done against GVSU and SCAD…This is the second lose at home this season the same amount of home games the Panthers lost in the last three seasons.
