“Tonight was a tough loss. We did a lot of things well, but not enough to get the win,” remarked head coach Aaron Butcher. “What this group did this year for Ancilla Basketball is incredible. I am very proud to be their coach. While we didn’t win the conference like we wanted to, we finished 24-5, which is nothing to be ashamed of. Now the real season begins. I still like where we are at as a team and look forward to a post season run with this group.”
