Mike Pressler was emotional even after arriving home from the stadium on Saturday.
“The sacrifice you make. All the sacrifices these guys have made — all these other teams are doing it too, so we’re no different, but I care about us. What they’ve given up just to get back on the field. To see them rejoice in a big-time quality in-state rival situation. It brought me to my knees,” he said via Zoom, tearing up following Bryant’s gutsy 9-8 win against Providence in Beirne Stadium.
The Bulldogs’ special teams excelled in the tight victory. Luke Caracciolo made 16 saves, Nathan Laliberte won 12-of-17 face-offs and new players stepped up for missing teammates.
