FROM THE COACH
"Tonight was all about honoring two special groups that are integral parts of our Benedictine Soccer Family," head coach Rich Nassif said. "What a blessing it was to have the Willis Family in attendance to support our team and share some time with our guys. The victory was a great tribute to our senior class, three young men who represent what being a student-athlete is all about. For me personally, it was very special to see Ahmed get his first career start, for he and Zorohn to combine for a shutout, and for Jonny to add a goal and assist – we could not have drawn it up any better."
