QUOTES FROM THE SEAWOLVES
"Proud of the guys for sending the seniors off the right way. That's what we focused on all week. We were disappointed how the one-goal games ended, that put us in the position where we knew this was going to be our last time together as a team. We cherished it all week and the guys played hard and played disciplined, which was the focus. We made sure to send those four seniors off the right way," head coach Anthony Gilardi said.
