COACH'S CORNER:
  • "We are disappointed to say the least," said AIC men's soccer coach Luke Perry. "We need to have a serious reflection and come back stronger. We've got a lot of talent within the team, but when you don't work together and work hard off the ball, then you come out with a result like today. We have a tough week ahead and I'm looking for those players who want to consistently stand up and be counted on, game in and game out."
