“Defensively, we were able to stop their best player, Casper Leary,” said Coach Cavanaugh. “Captain, Tristan Pike and Tommy Warner did a great job shutting him down all night. Ryan Terkildsen and Nicholas Rodrigues on the right and left were able to contain the constant pressure from Weston. Connor Kehlenbach made some huge saves for us all night. Actually, Connor has been amazing for us all year. This was a huge win, especially missing one of our key players. A lot of guys stepped up tonight”, complementing his defense and his stand-out goalie.
