This weekend the Hurricanes got behind early, but by the end of the 3rd quarter they took the lead 49-48.

"I'm proud of the fight our kids showed today. We were down early and battled back to take the lead in the third [quarter]. At the end of the day, we gave up too many offensive rebounds and their shooters got hot in the fourth [quarter]," said Coach Jason Rasnake. "We still have a lot of season left to fix these mistakes and hopefully we get to see them one more time in the region tournament."
