Champlain Valley is not the kind of team that you can come back from a big deficit like we were forced to do tonight. We have got to find our offense.
It was a game of runs. We got off to a good start, shooting 9-for-13 in the first quarter, then they went on a run that lasted for two quarters.
We made our foul shots - 9-for-13 - down the stretch when we needed to.
We had some good looks at the basket against their zone in the first quarter, but you can't shoot 1-for-15 like we did.
Calkins was a perfect 6-for-6 from the line in the fourth quarter.
We had trouble guarding Essex in the first half. We got to within two points in the fourth quarter and made a 3-pointer at the buzzer to make the score, 51-50.
Rice's defense took both Ethan Paquette and Garrett Calkins right out of the game.
I thought overall for the game we had better focus and we worked real hard right from the beginning.
Their match-up zone presented a lot of problems for us tonight. The zone took away Garrett's penetration.
