COACH'S QUOTE
"We definitely didn't have the same level of success we had at the America East Championships, but Joe and I are no less pleased with the work these two teams have done this year on behalf of UVM," said head coach Matt Belfield. "We saw some significant improvement and remarkably good team commitment this fall. Based upon outstanding leadership and consistent training, we expect our teams will remain competitive as we look toward the seasons ahead. Thanks to all the fans, friends, and families of our program who are so wonderful to us."
