Coaching Points
"We played with good effort and focus on the defensive end in the first half, but we struggled to protect the paint in the second half," said head coach Jon Mack. "It's tough to win games when you only get 13 stops in the second half, especially against a quality team like York. We will regroup after Thanksgiving Break and get prepared for conference play."
