Coach's Quote
"We had a little bit of everything out there today," head coach Chris Panos stated. "Neutral site, snow, hail, great crowd! Thank you to Goucher College for their incredible hospitality and Wagner College for a good game today.
 
Proud of my players, as we had some really good opportunities and thought we played well in some areas with a competitive spirit, but need to clean up a few miscues.
 
The stats were fairly even, but credit to their defense and goaltending which stymied us at times down the stretch to earn a well-fought victory."
