Cirovski on Tangney: "Kevin is a true inspiration. He's had two different ACL tears on the eve of both his seasons, missing all of the last two years. The fact that he was out competing hard this spring warmed everybody's heart. He showed against St. John's that he is close to regaining his form as a freshman.
