It was definitely playoff level atmosphere, both teams played really well.

The kids felt like the burden was lifted after not beating them for two or three years.

(Kooiman) played really well. We played opportunistic soccer, we were a little frustrated going into the second half, and he took care of business which is what we like to see from our seniors.

This was a well played game on both sides, but we're obviously disappointed. But whenever you can play to a tie with a team of this caliber it's a very good thing. We're very proud.

Jake had a great year last season as a sophomore. He should be even better this season.

We said before the game, it was going to take everybody to get this done. I think everybody took that to heart and came together.
