From Coach Meschisi
"Any time you can end a season on a win it helps set a positive tone for the offseason as we start to shift towards spring 7s. We're thrilled to have ended our first Division 1 season with a winning record at 7-3 too! This year we've had a hugely impactful senior class, and it was great to send them off with a win. Also, our hats are off to Princeton who played a really tough game from their first kickoff to the last whistle. They're a program on the rise and it's always great to have former teammates of mine across the pitch, also coaching high level programs."
