Coach's Quote
"What a great team win today," head coach Kelly McQuilkin commented. "We had seven different goal scorers with 50% of our goals being assisted. Defense did a spectacular job limiting quality shots and getting balls back for our offense the entire game. I'm excited to take our team on the road this weekend up to Robert Morris."
