We had many opportunities. Our defense played great and gave us good field position. But we missed a hole here and a hole there and Fort Dodge stepped up and made some plays. We had some openings, but we didn't take advantage.

Fort Dodge gave us some chances with fumbles. It was back and forth, but it comes back to making plays. On that fourth and inches, we thought about taking it outside, then the play clock ran down on us and we didn't get it.

It will give us an advantage as far as injuries. We'll see fewer, I think, because the artificial surface is softer and has more give than grass. We won't have to worry about someone stepping in a hole and turning a knee or ankle. And we won't have to worry about Mother Nature as much - when it rains, there won't be the slipping and sliding that you tend to see with grass.

Give their defense credit, they closed in quickly and made us react quickly.

We couldn't make any shots and we didn't play very good defense in the first half, which got us in a hole. I give them credit - they're a heck of an offensive team. They're a tough team to guard. We shoot 38 percent and the other team shoots 53 percent, it makes it tough.

If solidarity is a crime then send us all to jail. Our movement was built on solidarity.
