Quotables from Coach Chad Willis
"It was a disappointing result tonight. Credit to Little Rock because I thought they played a very clean match and put a lot of pressure on us. We really didn't execute consistently enough with first contact and let errors manifest themselves into big runs. We have another opportunity in front of us tomorrow to respond and pick up some momentum."
