extremely good offensive overall played plenty solid
Overall I think we played extremely hard. We had plenty of offensive opportunities. I think Northeastern, while they played a solid game, they had some good fortune.
carry collect played seem tempo
We did not play very well tonight. We were a little tentative and Quinnipiac played with a lot of tempo and a lot of pace. We didn't really carry play tonight. A lot is gauged by how well we collect passes, and we didn't seem to collect pucks tonight.
coming fast game locker loose nervous played
We could have played with more confidence. We were a little nervous coming into this game and there was a little uncertainty in our locker room. BC, meanwhile, played fast and loose hockey.
extra few huge impact played saves team
She played tremendous. She has a huge impact on our team. With a team like ours, sometimes we need a few extra saves and she did that for us tonight.
came hit hitting instead late open played post puck save unnoticed
She played great. There was one play that I think went a little unnoticed where, late in the game, she made a save where she just tipped a puck and it hit off the post instead of hitting an open net, and it was little things like that where she came up big for us tonight.
accustomed division ebb flow freshmen game hockey pace played prepared time
We should be better prepared this time around. We've got 21 freshmen that have played two-thirds of a Division I hockey season. They're more accustomed with the pace of the game and the ebb and flow of the game.
game good organized played structured
They are a well-established team. We are not at their level, but I thought we played an organized and structured game with good energy.
biggest played providence slowness sound
The biggest disappointment was our slowness in the first period. We did not play with continuity, while Providence played sound defensively.
attack compete darn goals played quick seven strong time
The first time we played them, their attack was pretty darn effective. They scored seven goals and made it look pretty easy. We didn't play smart, strong or quick enough to compete with them.
against game played quite recovered
The first game against them was a game that they controlled. They played a top-notch game and we got a little intimidated. We never quite recovered from that.
asked clearly confidence days innate love played playing russell sarah saw season skills stick thoughts top wonderful
All I ever saw Sarah Russell play was forward. I asked her two days before the season started, 'What are your thoughts about playing defense?' and she said, 'Oh I love it, I've played it all my life.' But she has wonderful stick skills and an innate confidence as a competitor, and she was clearly one of our top defensemen all year.
chances few good laurel played score
Laurel Koller and Genevieve Laing got a few chances to score but didn't get them in. Caitlin Reddy also played a good game.
both came flat good offensive played teams
For a low-scoring game, both teams had a lot of offensive opportunities. We came out flat which was kind of disappointing, but then we played two very good periods.
credit exciting games heart kid locker obviously played room
It's a credit that we made games exciting into February. It's a credit to every kid in that locker room that played their heart out and played tremendous, but it obviously bodes well for the future.
