Coach Spallina's Take
"This was a big one – a resume-builder. We talk about it with our kids, about making sure we get those big wins. This is us being a really good version of us. We didn't inundate our kids with a scout. We didn't inundate our kids with a ton of info. We went in and focused on being a really good Stony Brook team … With the makeup of this team – every year's team is a little different – this year's team is one that's better when we focus on us."
