"I thought we did some good things tonight, but also have a lot to conitnue to improve on," Head Coach Sami Stormont said. "Again, we turned the ball over too many times to give ourselves a change to win that game. I'm looking forward to getting back to practice tomorrow."

The Scots will be seen again on their home court at 7:30pm on Monday February 15th against Calvin University.
