COACH'S COMMENTS
"I thought the guys fought real hard," said head coach Dennis Currier. "It's hard to break when you're in a little losing streak there and felt like you deserved a lot more goals. We had so many chances tonight, we just couldn't put them away. I thought that last 15 minutes we really had to grind it out. I think it was a great team win for the guys and we needed it coming off the last two games. Conference is everything right now and you want to get a little momentum. We have been playing really well, the results just haven't been coming. You just have to keep hitting that stone over and over again until we start to get some wind behind our back and get momentum."
