From head coach Tom Oppedisano​​​​​​
"I'm really proud of this years group. They work hard, have a team 3.71 GPA, they get involved and they are really good players. We played well this week, not great, but well. The bar has been set high and we have to tip our hats to Rochester and look towards the future to equal their greatness."
