He finished his career with 34 points (9 g, 16 a). His 16 career assists ranks tied for ninth with Myers on the career list.
Senior midfield Devlin Barnes (Bethesda, Md.) was part of a solid UMass defense that shut out seven opponents, the seventh most in school history. He recorded five shots for the Minutemen, and finished his career with five points (2 g, 1 a).
