When asked about how she felt about reaching the 1,000 assists milestone, Caitlyn St. Germain said, “It feels great. I am just so happy that it landed on this night.”
“I love all of my coaches and teammates for making this such a special night.” Caitlyn added. “Not only for senior night, but also for me reaching 1,000 assists. I had no idea what they would be doing to celebrate this, so it really made me feel special. I also want to thank my sister (Allyson St. Germain). She has been through it all with me the entire time.”
