"I told the team after the games today that I was disappointed with the loses but not at the way we played," said Head Coach Steve Hardman. "We, unfortunately, could not put it all together. We pitched well enough to win both games today, but we are just missing something as a team. When we find that missing thing then we will take off and be very tough to play against."
 
The Stars return to action Wednesday, April 7th when they travel to Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin to take on Marian University in a double-header matchup with a start time of 1:00 p.m.
