COACHES' QUOTE

" I thought it was a great game of hockey overall. The team executed the game plan, we had some goal scoring opportunities and we just ended up on the wrong side on the score line. We definitely took a step forward from last weekend and we will use this game to prepare for Northwestern on Sunday." -- Kelly Doton, Head Coach
