Cambridge coach Rod Johnson was satisfied with his team’s effort in the groundbreaking win.
“It’s the first win in school history against River View, so we were pleased,” Johnson offered. “It was the best match of the season without question. Our five seniors stepped up on Senior Night and we played collectively in a total team effort. It was a balanced. We got significant contributions from everybody tonight.
“We really totally dominated and it was really nice to be able to beat them, but also to send a message that we are going to be a handful come tournament time,” added Johnson.
