Thoughts from Coach Rutter
"Credit to Union, their bench stepped up and shot it very well tonight.  We did not get the job done defensively or on the defensive glass and that is on me.  We cannot allow them to shoot 60% in the second half and expect to be successful.  We will get back to work and try to get better this week."

After returning home, the Firestorm will return to the ACU Events Center on Saturday when they host Northern New Mexico.
