Yet despite the circumstances, that is precisely what Robert J.H.

That the Bulldogs came within ten points of one of the toughest teams on their dual meet schedule is undoubtedly a positive for a team that has hovered around .500 thus far this season, but makes the loss a difficult one to swallow, as a few points here and there could easily have given the Elis the huge upset.
