COACH'S COMMENTS
"Any time you can get a big win against a conference opponent, it's great for the guys," said head coach Dennis Currier. "We have been off for two weeks and I know the guys were ready to play tonight. I thought the energy was good throughout the game and we scored some really good goals. I think the key was getting some early goals for us and once we did that, we looked more comfortable."

UP NEXT
  • The Flyers will head back out on the road to take on rv Massachusetts on Wednesday, Oct. 9 at 3 p.m. in Amherst, Mass.
