Gardy's Gab: "We got off to a slow start, but they are a good team that's well coached. They are a veteran team that's been together for a couple of seasons. Edison State played with pace that was difficult for us to manage early in the game. They can space the floor and post up. We adjusted later in the game after halftime to play a better final 20 minutes. We need to regroup now and get ready for the second round of conference play."

Next Up: The Lakers will have their 3rd consecutive road game as they travel to Lorain County Community College on Wednesday to face the Commodores. Tip off is scheduled for 5:30pm.
