Warriors Struggle in Opener

Hi Warrior fans.  Well the new season did not get off on the right foot last night as the Warriors struggled in every area of the game in falling to UW-LaCrosse.  The game was a tight game throughout as neither team had a lead larger then 9.   The Eagles controlled the game and tempo the entire night as they worked for getting great shots on the offensive end, while the Warriors rushed and took many difficult shots.  The Eagles were also able to own the boards as they out rebounded the Warriors by a 38-35 margin and had 8 more rebounds then the Warriors in the second half.  While the loss is not something that Warriors wanted to deal with they now know the areas that they must improve and work on as a team.  Rebounding, containing a man one on one and working for a great shot on the offensive end are just a few of the main areas will continue to concentrate on.  Thursday nights game against UW Eau Claire will be a huge measuring stick for the Warriors to see if they have cleaned up there mistakes from this game and to bring back confidence to the squad.  Thanks to all the fans who showed up for the game and we hope to see you this Thursday as the Warriors take the floor again.  GO WARRIORS!!!
