Morgan's own website, The Morgan PawPrint had this to say about the victory:
Team Members, Frank Rivas, Gabe Van Ness, Maxx Bugg, Tanner Romanos, and Kevin Daley all participated this past Monday. The students, staff, and coaches, Eric Bergman and Paul Beckett, had nothing but nice things to say about the team.
According to the website, Junior captain, Gabe Van Ness, said:
“It felt great for the team to win for the first time in 21 years. The team worked really hard this year and it finally paid off. I played well yesterday. I played my best tournament ever 1+1...”
According to The New Haven Register, Morgan outshot second place team Old Lyme, 315-330.
