QUOTE FROM HEAD COACH GREG HOLKER
• "Unfortunately, our turnaround from last night's game was extremely short. Adding the delay for lightning didn't get us out of there until after 10:30 p.m. To turn around for a 2 p.m. kickoff the next day is a challenge. Sometimes that's the draw you get when you enter a tournament. It did take a toll on us, no question. We were slow to start and slow to finish. It's not the fault of effort in the middle -- that was solid, but our early minutes were sluggish and that made our late minutes more difficult."

UP NEXT

• Millikin hosts Rose-Hulman (Ind.) next Saturday (9/6) at 2:30 p.m.
