Head Coach Jim McGirr commented after the match: “We were able to score a couple of early goals which set the tone for the match. With only 11 players traveling we were hoping to finish the match with 11, which we were able to do. A fitting send-off as the last match for our seven sophomores ended with a win. All of the players worked extremely hard this year, battling through many setbacks and injuries.”
