"Boomer is a one of a kind coach. His ability to be present with his players is so meaningful; He is committed to his role in making the program the best it can be and is a big part of the reason our culture within the team was such a special one. For me, he has transitioned out of the role of a coach and has certainly become a wonderful friend and I am grateful." — Ellie Williams '15
