We have struggled a little with scoring goals. In earlier games this season, we found ways to score goals late in the game and we just haven't been finding ways to do that lately. One goal can really change the complex of a game. |
We missed on a few offensive opportunities in the second as well as several power play opportunities. We could have come away with it, but we weren't quite as sound as they were. |
We need to have a good defensive effort. I am hoping that we can keep it a real competitive game and play well defensively. |
We need to try not to stretch the defense across the entire rink. We have to work from the middle of the rink out. |
We should be better prepared this time around. We've got 21 freshmen that have played two-thirds of a Division I hockey season. They're more accustomed with the pace of the game and the ebb and flow of the game. |
We want opponents to know we are going to put up a fight. Unfortunately, we made it a little easier for Maine. We should have extra motivation the next time out. |
We've got light at the end of the tunnel relative to the playoffs. It's a credit to the girls that they've made these two games into big games. |
We've got to start getting some positive momentum. A win is very important for us and the positive momentum will snowball. And the longer we stay in games, the more pressure it puts on other teams knowing that the underdog is still competing. |
Wright-Ward was the player of the game for them. She was one of the three stars, getting a few goals and an assist. |
You always hope that your known goal scorers play well in the big games. Hopefully she steps forward and contributes as well as many of her teammates. |
