// COACH TOTH ON THE BEARCATS
"After a couple of tough results these last two days all we can to is get back home, regroup, and use these matches hopefully to our benefit as we get outside more and more to finish our season. It's quite a challenge to come and play really good competition where you are playing teams right in their comfort zone, but with the schedule we have played I was hopeful we could have elevated our play more and be more competitive out here. It didn't quite work out that way. All we can do is get home and get back to our comfort zone and prepare for Dayton next Wednesday."
