COACH QUOTABLE:
"The season ended on a high note with all five athletes finishing the four runs (two races) today at Titcomb Mountain," said Head Coach Margot Cosentino after the team's season finale. "They've come so far in such a short amount of time; I'm exited to see what the future holds. Some injuries set us back earlier in the season, but the team was able to fight through and perform well in the end."
"Our seniors set the tone for the season and will definitely be missed next year. Lexzi stepped up as a leader on and off the hill, as did Eryk, who led the men's team today and fought until the end of the course. I'm so proud of this team for providing the foundation for the first alpine skiing team in Saint Joseph's history."
