"The game felt more like a division 3 college game, as both teams were conservative and committed to defending. There's wasn't a lot of open space for either team to create quality scoring opportunities. They do a nice job of packing it in and looking to counterattack. Their goalie also played well, getting up and snaring many of Ryan's long throws."
"On their goal, Nick uncharacteristically left his feet to make a tackle and was half a second too late. The call was correct but it was out toward the edge of the box. It was bitterly disappointing to see the game decided on that one play."
"We narrowly missed a great scoring chance in the 4th minute of the second half. Tommy made a through run to the endline on the left side and cut the ball back to a streaking Jesse Foehl. Jesse one-timed the ball, had the goalie beat, but the ball snuck just outside the point. That was our best chance by far."
"Over the past two years, this group of seniors has won 34 game, lost two, and tied four. There aren't too many graduating players in Western Mass who can put those statistics next to their names. There's no question they are devastated by tonight's loss, but in a few days they'll be able to look back and recognize that they play the game at the highest level and with class. That's as important as the number of trophies that are in the trophy case at the end of their careers."
