This concludes Coach Belletto’s first season as a coach at Linfield with a 4-14 record.

“I’m so excited with the way everyone competed. I’m sad the season has come to a close, but next season will be special and I can’t wait for fall,” Belletto said.

“Things we could have done better are not play a D1 team and I think we could have done better in singles and been more aggressive,” Spearnak said.

“It’s been a great season overall and I wouldn’t want to share it with a different group of guys,” he said.
