Comments from Coach Wiseman on these records …

"The 2012 season was a very successful one. As a program, we continue to make strides in the right direction. The men have really bought into our system, as they get things done in the classroom, on the field and throughout the community. I am very proud of each and every one of them. When they take the time to really reflect on the season, they will realize how special it was.

"That being said, this program is after that elusive MIAA Championship and NCAA tournament bid. We have been close a couple times but that no longer cuts it. We will learn and work harder than ever before as we prepare for the 2013 season."
