THOUGHTS FROM COACH CORMIER
"This game was about players finding confidence and stepping up for the team.  We needed to band together to score goals and play solid team defense.  The win tonight not only keeps our recent momentum going, but gives us confidence that we have the depth to compete late into the important conference games we have coming down the stretch."
