“Cohasset was a great match for us today. That was a very tough team we and we played outstanding up and down the lineup to get the win. One of our most complete matches this year. I am so proud of this team. It’s truly a testament of their hard what they have accomplished this season. We lost 12 out of 16 varsity players last year, so in many ways we thought this would be a rebuilding year. But our returning players and our JV players from last year committed themselves to improving their game and that is why we are back in the Final Four this year.” – Head Coach Joe Maher
