"Our flight was cancelled and instead of getting into Fayetteville at 4 p.m., we got in at 2 a.m., so I think that had something to do with our performance today," said head coach Shawn Flanagan. "We had a really good season on the guys side, and we will need to do some rebuilding for next year, but we showed some good signs today."
