COACHES CORNER:
"We are not able to overcome our lack of depth today and came up short in the end. The people we brought did a great job of competing and our plebes and yearlings were outstanding. The Nunnery, Halbrook combo proved to be the right move as they dominated in both the 1500 and 5000 meter runs. Kamryn Brinson, Emily Malone, Lynne Mooradian and Calli McMullen were all very good. We just ran out of bodies. The arrow is pointing up and the team knows it. We all just need to keep working to get better and the outcome will be different."

UP NEXT:
The Black Knights will participate in the Delaware Open in Newark, Del., on April 8.
