QUOTING HEAD COACH TODD THORNLEY
"Credit to UCLA, they were well prepared and got on top of us early which meant another poor start for us today. There were elements of our performance especially in the first half that were very pleasing, but overall too many skill set breakdowns, mindset and discipline issues that contributed to a patchy performance. We know we need to be better and will continue to work hard at changing down this coming week".
