-Quint Kessenich of the Baltimore Sun wrote in his Faceoff Blog that Kevin Crowley '11 is a "stellar midfielder, a headliner, and a force of nature". Coach Rick Sowell said of Crowley: "He's improved on attacking from anywhere on the field. Whether it's attacking from behind or the wing, he is a threat because he'll take you from anywhere and be very successful at it..."

Denver coach Bill Tierney said "Crowley is a man among boys... is tough to game plan against because he plays everywhere on the field, a radical concept indeed. He runs on the face-off wing, defensive midfield and offensive shifts, so his impact in a game is constant."
