Regular season: Watertown 2, Holy Cross 1
The Crusaders are in the final with a team that lost 33 goals in its 2016 graduating class. Mongelluzzo
described the team as “a snowflake that turned into an avalanche. The biggest strength is our unyielding defense that puts our playmakers in great position to counter and move forward.”Watertown is a runaway train that gains momentum each season.
“It feels great to be in the final again, but we need to focus on what we need to do to beat Holy Cross,” Nunes said. “They are a strong and physical team that will put us under pressure. Emotions will be flying high, but we need to stay focused on playing our game.”
Watertown’s seventh consecutive appearance in the title game is unprecedented in NVL.
