Having read most of these comments, I just wanted to mention a couple of things I feel are important that fans of the DIII finals.

I first want to emphasize how much respect I and the rest of the Middlebury squad have for Salisbury State. Undoubtedly, the Seagulls have some of the most dangerous players in our division. Chris Turner, Parks, DiPaula, High,...all of these outstanding players deserve the recognition they earn at the end of the season. In addition to their capabilities, the Seagulls also possess a level of class unparallelled in division III. For these reasons, and others, Salisbury State is a powerhouse program.
Second, I want to comment on the notion that we, or any other DIII team can compete in DI. Although it is true that many players in DIII could play at the DI level, (Turner and Parks come to mind, as well as our own Holt Hopkins), we must acknowledge that the depth of caliber players like the aformentioned goes much deeper in top ten DI teams. So don't worry, we in DIII are not suffering from some delusions of grandeur.
To Paul Shirley, we know Middlebury is in the middle of nowhere, that's why we like it. Its really beautiful up here; you should see it, although I don't think you made any friends with your comments. That's OK, we're usually pretty forgiving. Also, while I have a tremendous respect for W&L and their program, I hesitate to agree with you in that our win was a function of their loss. Salisbury is too good a team to scout and interpret with one game. Give them more credit before you jump to conclusions.
This is getting long, so I just want to say thank you to everyone who supports the game. You've made my experience so rewarding. Good luck to everyone next year, I'll be watching from the sidelines.
