"This was a game of two halves," Head Coach
Alex Pama said. "The first half was all Campbellsville, and we didn't recognize our own team. That was definitely not the Life team we are used to seeing. In the second half, we took the game to them. We deserved more and a better result. We've come a long way with our program, but in order for us to win a conference championship, we need to play without fear and go after our opponents for 90 minutes, not just 45."
