“The team that makes the least mistakes wins.”

These were the first words from head coach Jay Sawvel after this Saturday’s loss.

The Pokes were up by 7 points early in the fourth quarter but couldn’t hold on against the Aztecs, collapsing in the final period.

“We made the mistakes that you couldn’t make to win a game like that,” said Sawvel. “There’s no complaint as to the effort [the players] gave…We just made catastrophic mistakes in certain situations that you cannot do.”

There were several plays that Sawvel tagged as being game changing, but one series in particular sticks out.
