// COACH TOTH ON THE BEARCATS
"Today's match certainly was a good one to be in as we will undoubtedly be in one of a similar nature in Tulsa on Wednesday." stated Coach Toth. UConn was a little better today in the bigger moments and why they got us. We will have to be more opportunistic and execute a little better next week in order to advance in the American Conference Tournament."
