We achieved every goal, except our turnover count,” said interim coach Nate Tolbert. “I’m proud of how we played and what we were able to accomplish. We had one of our highest scoring games against the No. 1 team.”
In their first meeting, the Miners had 26 points in transition. Tuesday night, Tolbert said the Senators limited Bishop Manogue to 10 points in transition.
