Jean-Paul Herbert Comments On Caden Fioroni

His head coach, Jean-Paul Herbert, spoke about Fioroni's leadership and performance that helped his team get to the NCAA Championships for the first time in six years. "Caden is kind of our leader, but if we didn’t have several good players, we wouldn’t have been able to do what we did today," Herbert said. "Caden's play was exceptional from start to finish. We're excited for him to finish off his college career at La Costa, near his hometown of San Diego."
