Head Coach Jayson Wiseman said on the match, “This was just another tough loss and definitely not how we wanted to start out MVC schedule. Give all the credit to SIU, their team came ready to play and won almost every key point. We had some very close matches but SIU just out executed us today. Our team is resilient and will be ready to play next week. Hopefully we will have our line up at full strength with three matches scheduled for next week.”
