“It really was a very even soccer game tonight, but our opponent was a bit more clinical around the goal and was able to score one more than us. Even with the loss, it was a great night to say thank you and honor our five seniors who have put so much time and dedication into their playing careers here at Benjamin Logan — they will be missed.”
– Head Coach Jamie Hughes

“It was senior night and we played with a lot of passion. Our seniors have had a rough go of it but stuck it out, and I’m so happy for them and the whole team to get a big win like this. Back-to-back wins and back-to-back shutouts. The defensive crew doesn’t get enough of the limelight, but they come to play every night.”
– Head Coach Steve Henry
