FROM THE COACH
"Dominican is a program that has tremendous tradition and a program we have a lot of respect for," said head coach Rich Nassif. "There is always a level of excitement playing on their pitch as well. We just attempted to play with a lot of fight and focus today. Quite a few guys logged extended minutes, and credit our entire team for the win and the shutout. In particular, I loved the all out effort by Taulant Beshiri, Ramon Calvillo, and Michael Senese, among many others. We need to use their example as a key to our success when we turn around and face Dominican again on Saturday in the NACC Tournament."
