“We let Altoona dictate the game tonight,” Lady Barons coach Kelly Herrmann remarked. “They were on top early, and they never lost any of that control – we were playing at their pace. We've had a long stretch of practice days followed by game days, and our last two have involved long travel – fatigue was definitely a factor tonight. I'm looking forward to our next match against D'Youville, which is a winnable game for us, and we definitely will be getting some wins soon in our upcoming games.”

The Lady Barons tip-off against D'Youville at home this Saturday at 6 p.m.
