Post game: "It was a fun game to be a part of today. The atmosphere was electric. Both teams played well. We had a couple of calls go against us, but that's the way it goes sometimes. All in all, it was a great day and send off for our Seniors. 21 of them came in 4 years ago and 18 still remain, which is a testament to their team first attitude. This class has really helped change the direction of the program. Really proud of the team as a whole." - Head Coach
