The memories of a Final Four weekend tend to last a lifetime.
Just ask Middlebury head coach Alex Elias, a senior midfielder on Middlebury’s historic 2007 squad that won the program’s only national title to date.
"What I remember most vividly is there were so many alums who came to support us, guys we had played with when we were first- and second-year players, guys we never played with but got to know over the years,” Elias told New England Soccer Journal. "It drove home and reinforced the reasons we had all chosen Middlebury. It was so impactful to see that support from guys who guided us through it, who were there for the biggest matches on the biggest stages."
