maine solid strong talented team
Maine is a team that has some talented and strong kids. They play a real solid game.
fall forget freshmen jack older parker people reliance strong tired
People forget that we are predominantly an all-freshman team. When Jack Parker or Dennis Wolff's freshmen get tired they can fall back on their older players. I don't have a strong reliance on upperclassmen.
coaches crazy draw drive hooks penalties strong
They were penalties I could live with. Sometimes you go in strong and draw penalties. The ones that drive coaches crazy are the hooks from behind.
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.
brown credit great kept playing stood strong
The goaltenders stood strong and kept it a tie. Give Brown a lot of credit for playing a great game.

I think there definitely is a chance to play spoiler. There's no question we have a chance to play with and ultimately beat this team.
forward goal hope hopefully known steps
You always hope that your known goal scorers play well in the big games. Hopefully she steps forward and contributes as well as many of her teammates.
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.
character game heart maine players
The players had the character, heart and resiliency to show that the game up in Maine was a fluke.
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.
across defense entire middle rink stretch work
We need to try not to stretch the defense across the entire rink. We have to work from the middle of the rink out.
came extra game
We didn't quit. It was a dead-even game - Northeastern just came up with one extra goal.
advantage against hopefully scoring tips top trouble
We are having a little trouble scoring against the top teams. We've got to get screens, tips and deflections and make some pretty plays. Hopefully we will take advantage of our opportunities.
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.
