Golden Eagles co-coach Charlie Chambers said winning three straight titles was unbelievable. “Proud doesn’t describe it. It’s overwhelming. It’s fantastic,” he told the Amherst Daily News. “It was certainly unexpected. … The fans were our sixth man. The gym was just rockin’. I’m so happy for Sara and Patti. I’m so proud and lucky to have coached these two young women.” Assistant Kerry Curtis added that “the whole team came together and played the way that we had to.” Chambers was quick to deflect the recognition to others after the victory.
