COMMENTS FROM COACH REUTEMANN:
"This was one of the more tough fought out victories this group has been through together. Maine Farmington was a team we haven't seen in a few years so it was hard for both teams to know what to expect. They were extremely resilient and made us earn each moment of the game so credit to them. On an extremely slippery surface with all the rain recently, I think we had some of our best individual performances of the season. It has been a very long trip emotionally and physically and I think it has really brought the group closer as we move towards these final weeks. We will continued to be tested and this weekend was a firm indicator that the guys are in it for each other."
