Post-Game Quotes
 
Sweeney's thoughts on the game – “We played some of the best hockey that we have all year. Their goalie kept it close and they rallied. We had a 10 minute span where we lost focused and to their credit they scored three times. This game shows us that we have come a long ways. Now we have to refocus and get ready for a great match-up on Tuesday at Adrian.”
