Canisius BOSS Randy Mearns and his postgame comments.
“It felt as though, collectively, we were just a step behind Hobart today. We just didn’t play like ourselves. I thought after the Cleveland State game we would continue to evolve and get better, but they threw a different defensive scheme at us today and at times we were unable to handle the pressure and that led to some of their goals.
“We battled back twice from a couple of four-goal holes, but in the fourth quarter they got the best of us and then we had to press to try and get the ball back and that led to some empty-net goals late that allowed them to pull away.
“We have to continue to figure out how to get better. I’m sure we’ll figure it out. We’ve got a lot of resolve; a lot of great leadership in the locker room. We’ve got to put this behind us, get to work tomorrow, and get ready for Marist.
What’s Next
With many of Tuesday’s game being postponed or cancelled, we’ll have three games tomorrow, including Ohio State-Towson at noon and Princeton-Rutgers at 7 pm.
