"We went a little too hard at it this week," head coach
Greg Towne said. "We over practiced and should have taken a little time to recover. Everyone was pretty beat up and that was on me. We have an ambitious schedule with a tournament every week until conference and I will have to make sure we are mentally and physically prepared for that. Hopefully we can get outside at home this week."
