This was supposed to just be a year when the Panthers took their licks as a team in final scores but came away with games understanding their identity so that they could build off this season to find momentum to start in a better place next season.

The Panthers have now lost ten straight road games and have clinched having a losing record in the regular for Capel's fourth consecutive season.
