Straight from the Pack: Head Coach Simon Earnshaw
"Give credit to Washington. They really took it to us in doubles and it seemed like, at least in a few spots, we couldn't recover from that opening. When you are on the road in tough situations like today, you've really got to stick together as a group and use your experience to find a way through. Unfortunately, in positions where we held a big advantage in that regard, we weren't able to leverage this. That's something we have to do a much better job with. We've made a good start to the season. If we can learn from the experience of being at this event, it can be a big help moving forward."
