Coach's Quote
"It was a challenge today with our inability to control the face-offs and ground balls which led to an exorbitant amount of pressure and shot attempts on our defense and goaltenders," said head coach Chris Panos. "Credit to Jacksonville on a solid overall performance. We look forward to hosting another strong ASUN opponent in Cleveland State on Wednesday at Dickson Field."
