Fontaine on Last Time
"Today we were dealt challenges in several different ways and no matter what was thrown at us we dug deep and found a way to conquer it! We started off with transportation issues and then to go down twice in this game and come back both times says a lot about the heart and fight this group has in them. After GWU's first goal went in you could just feel their desire to win this game. The passion they played with and disciplined they had to remain true to our identity, even when it seemed like the odds were stacked against us, was truly incredible."
