QUOTABLE
"Sac State demonstrated a lot of speed today," said Head Coach
Colin Truex. "We did well to hang with them through the beginning stretches of the race but eventually we were just overpowered by a stronger team. After having lots of success in the first couple of events this season, I think it is really good for the team to experience being down and to use the lessons learned to re-focus our efforts in the final two weeks of our campaign. I can't wait to see how they respond!"
