Mustangs Head Coach Bruce Robertson commented, "Just when I think we are getting close to putting it together, we take a step back. We seem to find a way to overthink things, which costs us at critical times in the game. We were better with errors in the stat column today but made more mental mistakes that added runs, and the other team took advantage of that. We have to get back to basics, focus on making one play at a time, and not think ahead. I believe that will help us break things down. We have an off day Thursday, but then we play 6 games in 3 days, so I'm hopeful we can put it together going down the stretch."

Next, the Mustangs will travel to NHTI on Friday, followed by home games on Saturday and Sunday against Bay Path University and Roxbury CC.
