NOTES & QUOTES
"It's tough to send our seniors off with a near miss in overtime because we played well and the game very easily could've gone the other way. It was a fun and intense game to be a part of with both teams playing really hard. The staff and I are proud of the guys with how we battled this afternoon and just came up a little short."
