"Overall we have to view the season as a success. To repeat as PSAC East champions and qualify for the NCAA tournament are two great accomplishments." said head coach Steve Widdowson. "However, on the downside we had too many games where we were not good enough in our execution and attention to detail. We got shutout too often including the last two games we played. This is where we need to improve next year. We need more players who are able to stand up and take the responsibility to finish off all the positive play we have and turn that into goals."
