"It's been an up-and-down season for us with a very tough schedule and a slew of injuries, but the boys worked hard from start to finish today," Rams coach Tom Hamilton said. "The entire team was motivated to make sure the seniors ended their last home game with a win. These seniors have put in the work for four years, and I'm just happy that their last moments on their home turf were good ones. Now we're hoping to carry this momentum into the postseason."
