“We played much, much better than last week,” said Southwestern coach Aaron Fricke. “We knew this would be a really tough schedule early on, so we tried to take some steps forward, and I think we did.
“They hit a couple of deep passes but we did a good job of not letting the drives march down the field. I think as we continue to get better and the schedule gets a little bit easier, we will start to win some games.”
Caleb Robinson hit Michale Nolte with a 50-yard touchdown pass for Southwestern's only score of the night; they fell to 0-2 on the year. Next up for Southwestern is a home date against Litchfield at 7 p.m. Sept. 9
