“Our passing was absolutely horrible,” coach Robert Maw said. “We just couldn’t pass. We didn’t serve receive well, and during the play we didn’t pass well. We had a lot of shanked balls. We fell apart in the last three games. A lack of leadership and ball control. Dajarrah (Navarro) had a good night attacking.
“Overall, it was a disappointing night.
