// COACH TOTH ON THE BEARCATS
"You have to have the right mindset and be ready to compete from start to finish regardless of the opponent and we made things way too easy for Loyola Marymount early on. Loyola Marymount is a really good team and was much the better today, but for us to come out the way we did was very disappointing. We'll see if anything was learned today heading into tomorrow against Long Beach St. They are another quality team and it will take a complete effort from start to finish to for us to be able to get it done tomorrow."
