Overall, this was probably the most difficult match of the season. Each ofthe BU Academy players had varied technical skills who knew how and when to use it in exploiting our players' weaknesses and inexperience. This duel will give us the guidelines where to focus on areas we need to improve and to what level we need to raise our game to get to their level. But this team can and will bring it next season. They have surprised us many times this season when they brought themselves from a losing season last year to a winning conference season this year.
