QUOTABLE
“It was very difficult for me to tell (the players) that this was going to be my last year. But I told them that life goes on, and I could only hope that we’d all be better for having known each other,” longtime Yale coach Carm Cozza upon announcing his retirement.
Cozza’s departure will mark the end of an era during which Yale won 10 Ivy League championships and 177 games (against 111 defeats and 5 ties). His retirement will take effect following this season, his 32nd at Yale.
