QUOTE FROM THE COACH:  "Playing at Sonoma State is always a difficult game and today was no exception," said head coach Fred Jungemann. "We started the game well, but there were dangerous, even when they were behind.  Once they were able to tie the game, that gave them a lot of momentum and confidence which made the game even more difficult.  We will learn from the experience and look to bounce back with an improved performance at home next week."
