The first time defenseman Drew Borkowicz visited Salisbury, he was sold.
“I drank the Kool Aid, I fell in love with it the second I stepped into [coach Jim Berkman’s] office. The plaques, the trophies, the pictures. It’s like, ‘Whoa,’” Borkowicz said.
Berkman told him right then and there: He expects excellence. He expects you to work harder than you think you can. He expects the best, or you don’t have a place reaping the reward of national titles.
“He expects nothing but 100% from you no matter what you do. He holds you to a higher standard than anyone else does,” Borkowicz says.
