CONFER COMMENTS
"Today we made too many mistake and got outworked by a Citadel team that had a lot of desire to get a result. We have a quick turnaround to get ready for our home opener on Thursday. Obviously, this is not the outcome we wanted in our opening weekend, but we now need to move forward and put the work in to get better." - Head coach Robin Confer
