Torpedoes Head Coach, Alvin Peterson had these comments after the game, "This was another disappointing loss. We lost 3 games by 3 points or less now and need to find a way to finish our games. We will review the game film and find ways to improve. We travel to play the Shreveport Pride next week and are in for a tough game. They are unbeaten and have a great team, so we need to find a way to hand them their first loss of the season. We need to take their crowd out of the game, set the tone early on defense, and find a way to get our ground game going if we want to have a shot at winning this game!"
