Last year he was a backup 103, I used him quite a bit, I think he was 10-1 in varsity meets, so he wasn't a pushover. But he just couldn't beat [then 103] Andrew Blain consistently. What he's done this year has just been outstanding for us.

At one point we were 10-6, but I believed in these guys. I told them, we would have like to have won those matches, but this is where we want to win. February 17 and 18 is where we want to win.

He got too sloppy on his feet in the first two periods. The early takedowns hurt him. He needed to be sharper. The thing that hurt him was the third false start. That penalty point is going to haunt him for a while.

We put ourselves in position to win. That's all I can ask of my kids. Ledyard just got it done.
