Coach's Quotes
"It's just an incredible year after the loss of one of our players in July, and then four of our guys being out for the
season, it's incredible where we have come from. When you have tragedy, it's unbelievable how sometimes at the end
of the tunnel it greatness. Tonight, we gritted it out, and we ground it out. I am extremely proud of everybody. It was a
struggle early on in the year, and then we started getting our stride, and then this last week you could see us getting
fatigued mentally with three games, but we fought through it. For the seniors, it was a great way to send them out. It's
fantastic, Matt Campbell has been here four years and has two SSC Championships, and NCAA appearances, and
hopefully another one on the way. I am really proud of the guys and the team-camaraderie after all we have been
through."
For the Opponent
• Barry's keeper Bo Haug recorded six saves for the visitors.
• Senior defener Michael Dodds scored his second goal of the season.
• Borchert recorded his third assist.
