"We were hopeful for a good result tonight, as we were able to win here earlier in the season," said coach Gregg. "In the end, we just could not get much going offensively which was a pattern for us the last few weeks. I am proud of this team and they have put our program back on the right track. The year was a major improvement over the last two seasons."
