"We struggled alittle bit early on," said Eph head coach Rick
Pohle. "I think some of the youger guys might have relaxed alittle
too much thinking that home course advantage would be a big boost
to them and they learned you still have to go out and score.
Sometimes playing at home is not an advantage."
