HEAR FROM THE HAWKS COACH:
Head Women's Basketball Coach Matt Svehla on the play from Richards and Fallis and how his team faired tonight:
"We battled and led the majority of the game but just didn't get it done down the stretch," Svehla said. "Allison had a strong first half for us and Stevi scored well in the second half, but we just didn't get the stops or hit the shots down the stretch. Tough loss, but we will put it behind us and get ready for the next one."
UP NEXT:
The Hawks will travel for the first time this season and will take on Cloud County Community College at 2 p.m. Saturday in Concordia, Kansas.
