"I felt that our squad fought through a lot of adversity and never backed down from the challenge," OCU coach Kris Seigenthaler said. "It's not the outcome that we were looking for, but have to shift our focus to the second SAC game in six days."

With two games remaining in the regular season, the Stars will play vs. Southwestern Christian at 6 p.m. Thursday at Oklahoma Baptist University in the Noble Complex.
