BC HIGHLIGHTS
QUOTABLES
Boston College head coach Katie Crowley
"(BU) is a very good team. They've had a few tough losses, but they're a very talented team and have some very talented players. They play us hard, especially coming back from break. They've had a few players gone (at national team camps), we've had a players gone (at U.S. National Team camp) so I'm always anxious for this game because you never really know what you're going to get. But I thought it was a great hockey game. I thought it was a great atmosphere here. I thought it was a fun women's hockey game."
"We try to focus on just one game at a time. But it is tough when you come off a break. It's not like you've done video preparation because it was a month ago the last time anyone played. So you hope the team comes back in good shape, which we did. I think our team played well. But I do think there are things we can work on, and that's the next step for next Friday night's game. We have to be ready to go again."
