"Great overall team effort. That was a team win today, and we played a very good defensive team hard for sixty minutes. The Guys showed a lot of grit out there.

The guys really stepped up with back-to-back home wins and playing a lot of lacrosse in 24 hours. Alec Gern and Andrew Frey were electric on the offensive side.  They both carried a heavy load today and were great.  

Our on-ball defense and ability to kill possessions and get it to our offense were critical today as well. I am proud of the whole defensive unit."
