From The Coach:

"Couldn't be more proud of our team. Warren Wilson is always a tough game. We stayed in attack mode for 40 minutes and really kept up with their pace. To go undefeated against EMAC opponents this regular season is a testament to how much work our guys have put in. They have bought in to what we are trying to do and the results show," remarked Head Coach Dan Larkin. "I'm happy we could send Christian out with a final regular season home win. He has been such an integral part of this program for so long, and I know the guys enjoyed that."
