Coach's Corner

• "I am very proud of these guys.  An excellent outing again for Josh Savoni in net.  Our guys adapted to a difficult Monmouth team on their senior night.  We adjusted to their offensive players the second half and took control on the road.  These guys are growing every game into a mature group that is hungry for bigger things! Also, we prayed and played for our freshman Yousif Kowa and his family after losing his Father this past week. " - head coach Bill Boyle
