Death, taxes and Tommy Lingner being a brick wall in the UMBC cage.

The Team 91 2017 product by way of St. Anthony’s was up to his old tricks yet again for the surging Retrievers. He made 11 saves – his third game in the past five outings with double-digit saves – as UMBC upended Vermont, 10-8, in an America East thriller.
