“We broke down and lost focus,” said Blue and Blue head coach Barry Robinson.

With the defeat, English record stands at 6-13.

Leading the Blue and Blue was junior forward Bryanne Toney, who scored 19 points. Teammates Kwame Towsend and Alex Villanueva both netted 10 points.

“He was huge,” Robinson said of Toney. “That was probably a career-high for him.”

The coach went on to say that although the team did not meet the benchmarks that were set for the season, they showed up to play every game.

“We had expectations and goals we didn’t accomplish,” said Robinson. “But no one quit. They competed. Hopefully, we can meet some of those goals next year.”
