defended defense gave half hope kept taylor within
We defended pretty well all night. Our defense kept us within range. What Ted, Jacques, Derrick and Taylor (Pratt) did in the first half gave us hope and kept us close.

job nice played second tempo totally worked
I'm totally disappointed in how we played the first half. (The Lumberjacks) set the tempo ... We did a nice job intensity-wise and worked our tails off second half, but you can't do that. You have to come out from the get-go.
