QUOTES
UM Head Coach John PaulOn the game overall: “We got off to a good start tonight, but then we got into a bit of a funk. We have to learn to stay focused in every game we play, no matter the situation. I was a little disappointed with our intensity tonight.”
On Kevin Toller's play: “Kevin was a little frustrated before this weekend, but he really turned it on the last two nights. He can be a dominant force at faceoffs. Offensively he just has to learn to pick his spots. He did a good job of that this weekend.".
On the CCLA win streak: “We cannot take our CCLA record for granted. Conference games are always big games, and we have to learn to get up for every one, no matter who we are playing. This isn't going to last forever. We have Marquette in two weeks, a team that gave us two good games last year, and then Buffalo comes in for the Invitational. We fully expect them to challenge us for the title this year.”
