Coach Ronai's Thoughts:

"Give IWU a lot of credit. They played really well and shot it in today. Again, we had some good segments but our room for error is very small. We have to extend those segments to create momentum. This team will continue to fight until the end.

Really happy for Bailey, Carter, Jeaustin, and Jack on their senior day. I thought all four of those guys left it all on the floor."
