"I have often told freshman they will be surprised how quickly their time will pass as college student-athletes," Mason head coach Joe Russell said.  "It is the same as a coach.  This group of seniors was part of my first recruiting class at George Mason University.  I am proud they chose to be Patriots.  My hope is they had a meaningful D-1 experience and they have acquired and honed skills of greatness to use the rest of their lives.  This group will have a special place in my heart and will forever be George Mason Patriots."

Mason sophomore Tejon Anthony (17-10) is ranked 30th in RPI in the nation.  He has posted three major decisions and two falls this season.
