This is a great way to send the seniors out and a great way to start the legacy of the underclassmen. We've got a lot of momentum going into the spring. Hopefully our defense steps it up. We all know our offense rolls. So, the combination of that could be great.

Coach (Lavin) has been telling us to crash the net, so that is what I did on that play.

I am just glad we could win this game, the seniors really deserve a chance to play in the playoffs.

Coach Byrne always comments that I'm like a coach out there. I love to help the underclassmen. I'll help them out by yelling things out. The coach will give instructions and sometimes because they're young, still they'll forget what to do. I'll just yell out reminders and stuff like that.

Kristen Blaha

They all have that drive and intensity. I think definitely our seniors feel that we could have gone farther last year. I'm not sure that the underclassmen have a sense of that yet, but I think they're going to work hard to make sure their season is as long as it can be this year.

I want to set a path for the underclassmen. If us upperclassmen do that then the younger guys will see that is what the program is about. I want to leave it better than I came, set the bar high and keep it there.

Brian Toner

That's where seniors are valuable. We panicked a little bit. We wanted to spread them out and get isolation to beat their guards one-on-one.

I think this is a pretty good draft class overall. It's really shaping up that way because of the underclassmen. Usually, they're the key factor in whether a draft is good or not. It's very deep at a lot of positions.

This still means a heck of a lot to me. I can't just come out here and half do it. I've got [teammates] looking up to me. We have a lot of underclassmen. I'm not acting like I don't want to work too hard because I might get hurt. I still have to give it my all.

We're looking pretty good so far. We only have two seniors, but we have some talented underclassmen. Next year, we should be very, very good.

Lee Shaw

We will have to replace them. That is what happens every year in this business. You rely on your seniors greatly, then they are gone ? but as great as Matt and Zach were, I am confident that we have underclassmen that are ready to step up and be leaders. We still have a lot of quality guys in this program.

Chris Millette

From freshman to senior is totally different. Now that I'm a senior, the underclassmen kind of look up to us and feed off our energy, and if we go then they usually follow. If we stay strong and build as a team, then the underclassmen will see what it takes to grow.

Justin Bigelow

The seniors know and realize what is at stake. And for the underclassmen, it may be their best shot as well.

Jorge Amaya

Our underclassmen are really stepping up. Maggie and I, we're just trying to be the leaders out there.

Amber Bowman

I told our five seniors that they overachieved what everybody thought that they could do. They have nothing to hang their heads about right there. Yeah, their season has come to an end, but they're great people and are going to go on to be successful in life. We told the underclassmen that now they have to step in. They owe these seniors for everything that the seniors gave them.

Mike Gossett

(That run) was just one of those deals where we have a lot of underclassmen playing. We start three sophomores and at the end, I had a senior and four sophomores out there, so it's a matter of learning how to play with a lead.

Dawn Karpell

It's going to be nice for the underclassmen. They are going to get a lot of playing time. I think we're going be fielding a competitive squad.
