Haines on Last Time
"It was a competitive game and both teams had chances to win it. We obviously wanted more from our first three conference games in terms of results, but we need to stick together and keep working. This is a resilient group of guys, and they know what they are capable of. We look forward to another opportunity Saturday at Longwood to get to where we need to be to have a strong finish in the second half of the season."
