“We only had like four players from last year’s team and we didn’t know one another at the beginning,” said Carrera. “I thought after we lost to Pennsylvania (9-6 on Tuesday) that we realized we had to step it up.
“Against Florida it all came together (12-1 win). I loved it. It was awesome. We all hung out and really got along so well.”
