"Wow, what a great win, and Jake Williamson stood on his head on some of those close saves. I am very proud of the effort of the entire team. That was a very physical game and it wasn't pretty lacrosse but the guys kept fighting and showed a lot of grit. We can always get better and clean things up after a game like that but the ability and experience that comes with winning a tough match against a quality team is invaluable. We struggled to make some big plays that were there for us and we were not seeing the field on the ten men but there a lot of things we really picked up on and did great to compensate. Calvin is going to have a very good year and anytime you can walk away with the W in a game like that you have to enjoy it and celebrate it. Guys will need to get some rest though as it's a quick turnaround and back on the field for Lawrence tomorrow."
