NOTEWORTHY
QUOTABLE SEAHAWKS
"Roger Williams is always a tough opponent. I thought we did a very good job for the majority of the game, but did not get it done in the third quarter: costly turnovers and had some breakdowns defensively really cost us the game. We will be looking to make some corrections and rebound Tuesday at Regis." -- Seahawk head coach Cori Hughes
