CONFER COMMENTS
"We played well in spurts tonight and had some good individual performances, but in the end we had some lapses and that was the difference. Give credit to Charleston for doing what they need to do to get the result. We need to regroup, learn from this and be ready for The Citadel on Sunday." - Head coach
