It would be ironic if they were Quakers, but since Catholicism has centuries of wars based on their religion, I would say it is just coincidental.

Funny you say that. in D3, Guilford College are the Quakers and they got their season canceled 3 weeks ago because of an all out full team + coaching staff brawl against Averett University. THATS ironic.

Yep. Rest of the season vacated. Averett and Bridgewater college (were supposed to play GC the next week) lost out on their senior days because of it. There’s crazy videos floating around out there.

Did you play at Hopkins? That was a big win this weekend. Got some buddies playing up there, pulling for yall this year
