Mustangs head coach Neil Laminack credited his players for a better effort in only their second game of the season.
“We played much better,” he said. “We’re still moving pieces around. With so many guys, it will take a little while to find the right combinations. I am OK with where we are at right now.”
He said the team didn’t handle one part of the contest well enough, however.
