Koehler Fieldhouse was rocking on Sunday evening as the Warriors tipped off against the Golden Knights for the PSAC Championship Game. It was a night for the memory books in many ways. ESU took an early 12-2 lead over Gannon and never looked back. Their full-court press and speed forced mistakes and turnovers throughout the game. The game plan was executed precisely and the championship was won! These photos take you through the game and post-game celebrations. I hope they help you see and sense the excitement of this incredible accomplishment. Way to go Warriors! We are very proud of you and the championship title you achieved!
