Coach Jones' Thoughts:
"I think we made a really talented Rochester team shoot contested three's and tonight they made them. Our rebounding effort got better with each quarter but at the end of the day we needed to knock down some shots down the stretch. I'm proud of our competitive spirit. We'll bounce back and be ready for William Smith on Saturday. Chelsea Henry and Julianna Taylor made some plays by getting into the paint throughout the game. I thought our post players were active on offensive glass, getting us second chance opportunities."
