Head Coach Kevin Fillman: “Unconventional.  Homemade, really.  That’s how I’d describe Stewart’s game, and it’s served him well to this point in his career.  He knows that to contribute at a higher level he needs to make improvements in some areas.  It’s going to take a lot of hard work on his part.  Stewart was the only player in the field to not make more than bogey at our own Manor Intercollegiate, so he obviously has a chance to help us.”
