Coach's Corner
"Great Lakes is a tough opponent who plays a style we never see. I thought we did a great job keying in on certain guys, but lacked the attention to detail on other guys. We would make a run and get it to one possession and have a bad turnover. Credit to GLCC. My brother does a great job with them. I thought Will Little and Jaryn McCann were excellent. No rest for the weary with a tough McDaniel game up next." Head coach Sean Westerlund said.
