Our team has meshed together and we have gotten better throughout the year. We still have a lot of goals ahead of us."

"Brian has had such an incredible freshman year and to make first team all-conference with Osai is amazing. And then to get four players on the second team is incredible. So proud of Nick, Jonathan, Johnny and Calvin. Congratulations to all six guys on an outstanding honor."
