Y's loss was their fifth straight on the road , which bumped their record down to 3-7. Admittedly, the team was facing some tough opposition over that stretch, including 10-0 Banning Lewis Academy and 9-1 Holyoke (their opponents had an average overall winning percentage of 78% over those games). As for Gunnison, the victory (which was their fifth in a row) raised their record to 9-1.
