"It is very unfortunate that we didn't get to play," commented Coach Perritano, "but when I evaluate the season, a lot of learning took place. This season has helped me to understand what direction we are headed in." "The group is a very young team. It takes a lot to adjust to college and understanding each other," said Coach Perritano. "To accomplish this record and more in the following years, the guys need to continue developing themselves as players and students." The team is losing one player from this year's team, Rusty Brown. "I ended my career on a positive note. As far as a team and coaching staff, this group has a bright future," commented Brown. Looking down the road to the future, many have commented on their expectations. "Just looking at the future, the people, and the program, it looks very bright and enthusiastic," said Coach Perritano. "We improved over the season and pulled together at the end. We had a lot of fun!," exclaimed Jason Freer. "There's a lot of young talent returning and Coach Perritano is very excited about the next few years to come," commented Rick Nese.
