Colgate Head Coach Ryan Baker
(on match)
"It's a game of momentum and tonight it didn't work out for us. WE really lost our energy after barely losing the second set. Army is a really good team and we need to learn from this match and move on. I am coaching a really good team and I know we have some great days ahead of us."
