I’d say it’s a big loss for us.”And while the Crimson finished its season on a five-game losing streak, it boasts a plethora of young talent—six freshmen started against Columbia. With depth and the further development of its talent, the experiences of this tumultuous season may serve to help the squad in the years to come.“These guys play for the right reasons...
