Miozzi Mentions: "The team really played hard in game one. They hustled and played well - I was proud of their effort.  We lost some of our momentum in the second match. Playing back to back took a bit of a toll on us, but I like our team and know we are capable of more. We'll keep working."

Next Up: The Lakers travel to the Owens CC Invitational next Friday and Saturday. Game times are still to be finalized.
