CATCHING UP WITH COACH SUNDLING:
"Cal Poly was too strong for us today. They did a better job competing that we did. They were ready to play from the first point and we started off too slowly. We need to come out tomorrow and be more resilient to have a chance versus a tough Santa Barabra team."

UP NEXT:
The Dons will now turn their attention to the UC Santa Barbara Gauchos as they will compete tomorrow morning in Santa Barbara.
