Donner's Debriefing
"It was a tremendous weekend for both teams. We had many people make our all-time top ten lists, numerous qualifiers for the ECAC and IC4A Championships, wins at the Bison Open, and plenty of personal and season-best marks. It was great to see some breakout performances from our younger and less experienced athletes, who are ready to step up and help our program. I have always felt that when February hits, rust-busting is done, and our teams start to jell. We became a better team this weekend."
