Semifinal Hero Brian Tevlin

Brian is a versatile player, as he has played almost every position on the field. 

In the national semifinal match with Virginia, the coach of Notre Dame, Kevin Corrigan, trusted Tevlin and put the ball in Brian’s hand.

“First of all, [I] just really appreciate the trust that my coaches have in me to put the ball in my stick at the end of the game,” Tevlin said after his game.

In the game, the talented athlete led the team to a 13-12 victory and got the chance to play in a national title game.

Most of the players dream about the moment that Brian lived, but very few of them will be fortunate enough to get that chance.

Furthermore, the coach said that the player just fits in on the field so well and also has an impact defensively.

Corrigan also mentioned that it takes a special skill like Tevlin has to contribute to the field.
