Chris Schnabel: Player of the week, how does it feel to get this honor, knowing you were awarded it because of your high level of play?
Eric Robertson: “Getting the award is a personal goal of mine, and as honored as I am to achieve this, I feel it was a team effort. Oskar Sewerin’s goal and James Pyatsky’s saved PK late in the match really set up my opportunity to win the game.”
CS: How did it feel to score the game-winning goal in such a big game?
ER: “The atmosphere the fans created was almost dream-like, and to be honest, I can’t recall taking the shot, just the euphoria that followed. It was a good day to be a Charger.”
CS: Who are you going to miss the most on your team senior wise?
ER: “The entire team has become a close-knit family. Every year we send off seniors, and every year I miss them beyond words. Gui and Edwin are no exception. I’m just glad we got to end their college career with a much deserved W [win].”
CS: How disappointing was this year for the team?
ER: “I feel this year was anything but disappointing. Every individual, player and staff, was aware that this would be a rebuilding stage. We have the potential to be the top team in the NE-10 conference, and now our 12 new players, 10 of which are freshman, have gotten a year of experience under their belt. Next season should have a different result.”
CS: Even with a disappointing season, what was the highlight of it? Or the best part?
ER: “Aside from making 12 new close friends, the highlight of the season was the ability to put tough losses behind us and come into the next practice with the mindset to become better players. Every game we improved and I attribute that to great coaching and a team full of men who love the game, and who believe in each other.”
