HEAR FROM COACH JEN CONELY
"Really disappointing loss today at Grand Valley State.  I thought we looked very tentative and were predetermining what we were going to do on offense.  We need to come out stronger and be locked in on Saturday against Davenport."

WHAT'S NEXT
The Rangers will return to action on Saturday, Jan. 29, as they take on the Davenport Panthers.  The Rangers will return home on Monday, Jan. 31 to face Purdue Northwest.  For information on tickets for all Parkside home events, visit parksiderangers.com/tickets.
