COACH'S COMMENTS
"It's always tough to leave it down to the last game," said head coach Dennis Currier. "I thought the guys responded great, especially on senior night. It's a great sendoff for the guys that spent so much time here with the program. UMass is a gritty team and I knew we were going to have to be on our best game. I though the second half was phenomenal tonight and we got the win."
