β€˜Portland Press Herald’ follows ΒιΆΉΒγΑΔ football team to Bangor as they continue inaugural season

ΒιΆΉΒγΑΔ Football

In an article titled, β€œΒιΆΉΒγΑΔ football building a foundation,” the Portland Press Herald shed light on the ΒιΆΉΒγΑΔ’s first football players and the work they and Coach Mike Lichten are doing to build a successful team.

The article describes how a crowd of nearly 100 Nor’easter fans came to the team’s second game at Husson University in Bangor. Husson won the game with a final score of 34-21, but the article focused on how Lichten is laying the groundwork for future success with his young players.

β€œWe will push to win,” he said. β€œWe want our players to gain development so when we’re playing in our conference next year, we’re ready. But becoming a family is the biggest thing. You can’t do that without competing together.”

β€œWe’ve been together for like 20 days and are playing these established programs,” said freshman linebacker Jordan Jawdat β€˜21. β€œBut we’re a very young team, and I think the future is really bright, honestly.”

β€œI want us to know who we are (at season’s end),” Lichten said. β€œI want us to know what our culture is and to be able to instill into the next group that comes in what our culture is going to be. Good things come to those who wait. But better things happen to those who work hard to get them.”
