"For the past 13 months, our seniors have been GREAT," said Head Coach Tony Wingen. "I am so proud of their leadership and communication, and their mentorship of our younger players. We all wish this year could have been different, but I hope Joe, Ethan, Daniel and Zach will look back on it with a true sense of accomplishment."
