- The Zags got off to a great start which was made all the more impressive by the fact that the energy and atmosphere inside of McKeon Pavilion was frenzied.

But, they couldn’t make it last. The Gaels were eventually going to get going, but the Zags had numerous opportunities to put this game away and failed to do it.
