FNU Head Coach Giovanni De La Rosa demonstrated sportsmanship and said: " I can only be proud of the group. From the Staff down to the last members of the squad. We came in as the #5 seed and we knocked off the #1 seed in the first game 3-1 and then we fought hard and beat another top seeded team. We beat the #4 by a score of 2-0. In the Finals was no easy task University of Maine Fort Kent was the #2 seed and played like it. With the score tied 1-1 getting a defense-man red carded is not good and very hard to replace. It changed the game. Minutes later they scored , but we fought till the end. And we produced two chances from corner kicks. They are a very good team and deserve to be the 2019 USCAA National Champions."
