Coach Steve Joyce was very pleased with the performance of is team:
"Having Freshmen
Cole Hoffman,
John Dunn and
Josh Mercurio on their first trip was a great experience for them and the team. It has been a while since we've had this level freshmen make a trip against this strong competition. Sophomores
Michael Burke and
Max Bruce also joined for their first trip and improved greatly from the higher competition. Senior co-captain
Patrick Sullivan and classmates
Nick Adams and
Cameron Culligan also joined and were excellent leaders and showed excellent effort as you would expect. It bodes well to have some sophomores gaining ground as we graduate so many seniors."
