The Coach Says: "We will take another conference win and today there were some moments where we were very, very good," Lancaster Bible Head Coach Zach Filzen said. "I thought we played well in the first half and did well on both ends of the floor, but the second half, we started poorly with our energy and effort, and didn't do much defensively. We are trying to find a way to be more consistent, and I know won't play a perfect game at this point, but we can't have that big of a contrast from half-to-half."
