BRADENTON, Fla. -- The Buccaneers dominated their way to a third consecutive Sunshine State Conference Tournament Championship after destroying the Lynn Fighting Knights in the championship match 4-0. The title makes it the 15th of Head coach George Samuel's career at Barry.
"This one feels just as good as the first one. I can't remember what year it was but it was quite some time ago and that was very special to me. This one is just as special, it doesnt matter how many times you win this one. It's always a joy to see the guys reaction's when they win this. I think this title means a lot to our university and we're proud to represent it in such a positive way. The guys really had good chemistry throughout this entire tournament, we we're fighting through a few injuries and they went well beyond the call of dutry to put things together and they played really well. I'm extremely proud of them." -- Samuel.
