QUOTES
Head Coach Alama Ieremia
On the team’s overall performance
“Some parts of the game were good for us, but the parts that were good last time were poor today.”
On ball handling
“A lot of that is individual, especially when it comes to ball carrying and getting the timing right and getting the technical side right. We’re losing a lot of balls in contact and collisions. Therefore, we’re turning the ball over a lot. I think we needed to hold onto the ball. We didn’t build enough pressure which is why we only got five points.”
