ASSITANT COACH ROBB STONE
"Today was a tough loss against a very talented Charlotte team who's off to a good start to their reason. We definitely showed some effects of not playing for a couple weeks and having to live without practice with the weather we've had lately. Still, you have to take your hat off to Charlotte, they outplayed us, and hopefully we can take the lessons learned from today and apply them to the match against Presbyterian tomorrow."

UP NEXT
The Cougars wrap up the two-match road swing tomorrow with a 1:30 p.m. matchup at Presbyterian in Clinton, S.C.
