Tom opens calling it the "hardest fought season ever.

Rhoden, one of the finest 400 meter runners of all time, won the gold in that event in the 1952 Olympics. Baltimore-born and bred, Bragg won several major and national titles in the sprints during his era. Josh Culbreath won the bronze in the 400 meter hurdles in the 1952 Olympics.

This was a squad that had graduated a combined 217 goals and 130 assists from attackmen Jimmy Dailey and Richie Ford and midfielders Neal Barthelme, Kyle Moffitt, Sean Calabrese and Jake Stocksdale. Add three starting defensemen in Evan Douglass, Kyle Menendez and Ian Hart and faceoff specialist Ray Witte, and not many people had given Stevenson much of a chance of reaching Sunday's stage.
