Coach's Corner - Comments from Cortland Head Coach Sulekha Modi Zaug:
Coming off of a BIG week, we tried to rally one last time but were met with some scoring challenges. The team continued to show great individual routines and to fight for every tenth. I'm extremely impressed with what they put out on the floor today and we know exactly what we need to focus on as we come to the last two weeks of the regular season with meets at home.
