Head Coach Erik Ronning
"We were very good in the first half, had control, and were unfortunate not to have scored. We were in a really good spot and played at a really high level. Vermont's goal most definitely took the wind out of our sails, but I am proud of the fight displayed to the end.
I am confident this group will respond. We have played well in bits and pieces, have worked incredibly hard, and it is just a matter of time before everything comes together. I believe in this group and 100% have faith that we are  close ."
